Innity

n.
the complicated solitude of hotel rooms late at night, spending time in a place that’s both yours and emphatically not yours, both soulless and homey, both timeless and temporary, suspended somewhere halfway between vacancy and no vacancy.

From inn, a small hotel or tavern for travelers + inanity, a total lack of meaning or ideas. Pronounced “ihn-i-tee.”
