I like the dark part of the night, after midnight and before four-thirty, when it's hollow, when ceilings are harder and farther away. Then I can breathe, and can think while others are sleeping, in a way can stop time, can have it so โ this has always been my dream โ so that while everyone else is frozen, I can work busily about them, doing whatever it is that needs to be done, like the elves who make the shoes while children sleep.
Dave EggersYou know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know youโve done nothing good for yourself. Thatโs the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished.
