I'm a night person. I love the time between when the sun sets and rises again. The time where life seems to pause. When the world is quiet and people feel safe.
Night time is special. It's and in between time. Where anything is possible. Where it seems like tomorrow will never come again and yesterday is over.
Then there are those nights where you're broken. When nothing feels right and you're hurting but don't know why. Or how to get it to stop. And all you need is someone to listen. Or someone to hug. Or just some company. You just need to feel loved and cared about. Night makes people vulnerable.
I think that's why I love the night time so much. Because people are more willing to share when it's dark. They don't think about the consequences. The next few hours seem like a lifetime. And people are real. There is no filter when you're exhausted.
Hurting at night feels safer. Like nothing can get to you. Sure, when you're alone in your bed at 2 a.m. and all you can think about is how much your heart is aching or that one bad decision you made that day you feel like nothing is going to make it end. But then night is there to welcome you into it's arms reminding that it will always be there to embrace you. No matter what you may face. And those times when you have that person you couldn't live your life without to spend those nights with you, you don't feel so alone.
There will be days where the night will be the worst time. Where going to sleep will be impossible with the pain you're feeling, but there will be other times where it's what you live for. Where nothing else makes you feel happy except those last few hours between the sun setting and it rising again because it's when you get to feel safe and calm and free.
Night is when things can happen. The unexpected, the horrible, the amazing. Night time holds promises of adventure. That's what I love best about the night. The promise of adventure.
Love,
Natalie
