Lonely people are always UP in the middle of the night.

" ... Sometimes all you need is someone passing by. A total stranger, who will look at you from a far enough distance so you can still feel safe. This stranger could smile at you but he really could just say: “Hi” and walk away. And somehow after he’s gone you feel a little better. And even that stranger, while he’s walking away, he also feels a tiny bit better. Neither of you knows why, but it makes each of your hearts wider. Like there's still kindness in this world. "
