I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it.

It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?

Exactly. What OP should do is never close vim. You don’t need to close it.
:q!
A surprised emoticon with a cigar hanging out of its mouth isn’t particularly helpful.
All vim commands are emoticons
You just discarded all of your changes.
Yeah, because it all got trashed from the previous keyboard mashing.
Press ‘Esc’, and then ‘ZZ’
What if I am not sleepy?
Simply spend a couple hours configuring vim
