The 3:00 am Club
Not a club you ask to join; it just happens.
You’ve tucked yourself nicely into bed and slowly slip into dreamland. A few hours later, you wake up, go pee, crawl back into bed, and check the time. It’s 3 am, and you are now wide awake.
Welcome to the 3 am club.
There are thousands of us awake too. You’re not the only one. You may feel alone, and lonely but trust me, I’m right here with you. And so are many more.
What happens in the 3 am club?
Here, we lie awake, desperately clutching our cell phones in our hands, hoping for some connection, somewhere in the world.
Here, we scroll mindlessly through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest looking for something, anything, nothing.
We watch empty reels and stories, hoping to laugh or get inspired.
Here, we message our closest friends in hopes that they are awake too, so we don’t feel so alone anymore.
They’re not awake. We’re alone. No one to talk to. It’s a dark empty night where we feel so vulnerable, afraid, hopeless, wondering what it’s all for.
