Own the Night

I love the night.

It's quiet, it's peaceful, it's alone, and it's mine.

I do my best work after 3am, concentrate better and am more creative than I am during the day {when it comes to non-midterm-studying/paper-writing things}.

The stillness soothes me and welcomes me in, making me want to share all my secrets.

The night knows all my secrets.

It's hid tears, inspired dreams, and encouraged calm in times of great stress.

It gives advice, induces revelation, and asks the tough questions.

Who else would be as honest with you as the you that exists in the wee hours of the morning when everything else in the world is asleep?

You don't lie to yourself as well at night.

If there were a way to stay awake all night so I could do all the things I think of at four am, I would be so wise and my to-do list so short.

It's easy to dream big at night when there are no expectations and no rules.

It's like being free.

I am free.
