Day time is for showing up, night is for showing up for myself.
Welcome to my blog midnight owls 😊
You know the feeling you get on fridays that makes you giggle even at work, to the point you post on your socials TGIF, that’s the feeling I get once it’s night. The night is like my mini weekend tucked into every 24 hours. The way I get to relax on weekends is the way I relax at night. I laugh more at night because, of course, no pressure from work or unfinished tasks. I don’t expect any work related event at night unlike during the day that anything can happen or show up unplanned like a task that equals a new deadline 🤦♀️ Just like today that I was given a new task to be completed by Monday. I spent most part of my day brainstorming on how to get the task done. But guess who’s not thinking about that now? Me hehe. I mean, a girl gotta have some time for herself 😉
Have you ever had a fight with someone and long after the fight, you process everything again and remember things you would have said to the person that would really hurt them? That’s how the night is for me too. Those things that happened during the day that I didn’t have time to process or react to properly as I would have done, I have enough time at night to process those events and react even if it’s late lol. Night is also a time I have a conversation with myself, scroll through my socials without warning myself “you have to get back to work”.
During the night, everything gets to rest; my mind exhales, my gadgets gets to charge properly and breathe 😅 my workspace rests as well. Mentioned my gadgets because they overwork during the day and they don’t get to charge properly because of the temperature. A colleague saw my phone battery and asked if I won’t charge my phone but I responded “it will charge at night” and truthfully, that’s the only time my phone gets to charge. I bet my gadgets anticipates the night more than I do 😂 I also get to sleep well at night without imagining my phone blowing up with notifications from work.
In all, night time means peace for me and that’s the summary of what makes the night different from the day for me.
Night is the only part of the 24 hours that I feel belongs to me.
