Even though I use "the big light" as a phrase i still think this means the sun every time i see it.
spoiler
"I am so violently opposed to big lights" would make more senseWhen you say “I hate the big light” you mean the central ceiling light.
When I say “I hate the big light” I mean the sun because why is it so goddamn bright outside all the time even when it’s cloudy?!
We are not the same.
My plants need it, go back in your cave.
I thought it meant the sun because I absolutely hate the sun. Source of all problems.
