I’m going to sleep now.
It’s 6:11 am and I’m going to sleep. I’ve been awake for almost exactly 36 hours. I’m going to sleep now, after spending many hours laughing and hugging new friends and old friends. This moment, me going to sleep, after interacting with humans, at an hour when other people I know are falling asleep, is monumental.
This is the end of a terrible series of days. I’ll wake up tomorrow and on January 8, it will be my new year.
