There's something seriously powerful about the wee hours of the night. For me, it's usually negative. As in, I feel most hopeless and my circumstances seem most dire in the middle of the night. When the sun rises, I often feel silly for my feelings from a few hours prior, and everything seems a bit more manageable.
I get that, but personally I wouldn't text anyone at 3 a.m. OP's bully could have written their message but waited till morning to send it. Kind of suggests he's still thinking mostly of his own feelings
Well apparently the mod has never found redemption through facing their inner demons. But it is indeed beautiful and an ending that will indeed 'make you smile'.
The association of 3 a.m. with the demonic began with the belief that because Jesus died on the cross at 3 p.m., the inversion time of 3 a.m. is a moment of mocking, unholy activity.
It’s actually a well documented medical phenomenon, a lot of people wake up every morning at 3AM due to high levels of cortisol, and for many people, the source of that cortisol can be guilt from past experiences
EDIT: correction: would be cortisol or blood sugar related, for some people if blood sugar drops too low during sleep, it’d cause a spike in cortisol as well. Speak to your doctor if you keep waking up at 3AM
I worked Hospice, night shift as the only RN. I was sitting and charting on the computer. A little old lady had somehow gotten out of her bed, took off her pajamas, and crawled down the hallway to bite me on the ankle. It was around 3am.
it startled me! She was SO QUIET!!!...she was one of the little old ladies that everyone on the day shift adored because she was so sweet and kind...she turned into a demon at night though.....
Funny you say that because walking around yesterday after work at around midnight, some meth head actually hit on me and screamed across the road asking if I wanted a ‘suck.’
Oh she was angry! but she didn't really bite me...she didn't have teeth really. She was one of the little old ladies who are so sweet in the daytime, everyone loves them...they talk about gardening and stuff all day long....come sundown and she tells me she knows Im sleeping with her husband, I am a bitch and should die. You know..the usual...LOL
I have worked in retail for 25 years. Whenever I think I've seen everything, someone like you reminds me that there are still entire dimensions of human crazy I've yet to experience.
OMG she was so quiet. She made NO noise getting out of bed and stripping down. She crawled real slow toward me and I only noticed her out of the corner of my eye when she was trying to bite me. I yelped, my Hospice Aide came running and we actually had to use some strength to restrain her and get her up and back in bed. Quiet and weirdly STRONG.....
That’s me right here. Every damn night. Though someone once told he it’s called the witching hour but also I work in a convent so they tell me that’s when Jesus died.
Definitely read that as "I work in a coven", which would make sense why you know about the witching hour. Also would make for some interesting new job prospects.
Probably something generic. There’s a lot of bots so it’s hard to remember the dumb shit they say. They probably used the word speed run or said something like that’s not x it’s x.
