“But most of all, I remember space. I remember doing nothing, but doing it together, which made it something after all. Now when I put a dish in the microwave for 30 seconds, I am paralyzed by the discomfort of unorganized time. Is 30 seconds enough to read something, check the weather, pee? I reach for anything to occupy me. But now I've spent all of my time wondering how I should spend it. And the machine beeps and I have purpose again.” — Emily Temple
