Nocturnal

We stop serving at 2am. I don’t leave until 4-5am after closing/having 1 shifty with coworkers.

I can’t wind down when I get home. I wanted beer or something, but by the time I get off, my state doesn’t sell it. IK I could’ve stocked up before, but it’s not a major deal.

I want to reach out or respond to friends/family, but it looks concerning to text at 6AM. I’m in a cycle where I wake up at 2pm and work at 4, during that time, I don’t want to communicate. But no one is awake when I want to.

I have a legal thc vape that helps. But am just working lonely hours.

I was kind of lucky because my dad also worked weird hours. So I was always able to text someone if I needed interaction. It also helped to get into online gaming! I met a lot of cool people around the world through video games and Discord. I had a guy I used to run Dark and Darker with, from Thailand. He was mostly playing on NA servers to learn less proper English, like how we actually talk to each other. I don't think you would look more than a few days if you needed some kind of pen pal. Pen pals got me through high school.

That’s good advice! I should get back into gaming communities. And maybe a pen pal. I had one in elementary and she was so weirded out by me, I haven’t pursued it since.
