You know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know you’ve done nothing good for yourself. That’s the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished.
Dave Eggers

Why do you want to be on The Real World? Because I want everyone to witness my youth. Why? Isn't it gorgeous?
Dave Eggers
Image
He was feeling buoyant, flexible. He wanted to go jogging. He stood. He couldn't go jogging. He called room service and ordered a basket of breads and pastries.

Loneliness is just a thing that I'm not personally interested in. So far, it hasn't been on my docket of things to write about.
Dave Eggers
Image
