It's kinda hard to express the pain of the timezone gap to people who don't feel it nearly as severely.
Joining a server or forum or something and being the only person online. Logging on in the morning to read all these conversations that happened while you slept, they're daily refreshes, not live events. You'll basically never be a part of them, you don't even bother in the first place.
Logging onto tumblr and your friends are joking with eachother and posting and getting nuked and remade, all chunks of a day ago. Everyone's playing without you, and you read about it in the morning.
You're scared that if your blog goes down it'll happen while you sleep. You're scared if people want you dead you'll wake up to a wall of texts.
You've had long distance relationships, staying up into the early morning while she goes about her day. You don't mind the companionship, but you do miss the sleep.
Even just the simple fact that events in your countries history will be shared on social media the day after. You can't trust dates and always convert them in your head. The whole world operates on a time schedule set in New York city in seems.
All your friends are so very far away, and they only come out when you're sleeping.
Everyone's playing without you. And you'll read about it in the morning.
