I feel the struggle! I wish more industries and the world in general was better adapted for the night owls around us. I wish you could get an office job that was 9pm to 5am, and I wish you could attend college classes in person overnight. Ever since Covid even grocery stores and places like Walmart and Target arent open past 10 or 11 pm anymore, instead of 24 hours like they used to be. Basically, I wish there was a whole different world that took place at night (and I'm not talking about partying, just those of us who wish to live normal life nocturnally). I've seen it put in the way like hundreds and thousands of years ago we would have been so useful to our "tribes", because someone had to stay up overnight and watch for predators and bandits and such, but now there's no need for that so our nocturnal abilities are forced to adapt to a world that tells us we're useless lazy people for staying up late and sleeping during the day.
