The Ramblings of a Night Enthusiast

No norms. No social standards. No eyes to judge you. Not even your own.

The dark is always a place of comfort. You don’t have to be prim and proper. You don’t have to sit upright, or smile and listen and pretend to care bout the woes of the world. 

You can find freedom in a new different form. You can let yourself be who you are, for no one is there to see that inner dormant self you’ve been hiding from the eyes of the society. You don’t have to be pretty. You don’t have to be pleasing. You don’t have to be perfect. 

Why be in the light all the time? The light blinds you, exposes you, makes you vulnerable wherein the dark calms and soothes.

Everything that you have been worrying about in this life would cease to matter. Being broke? Deep in debts? The dark is for free. Do you look like a mess? Still haven’t shed that extra pounds? Do you look too pale? It won’t matter because no one can see. Stressed about that promotion? Wait, what promotion, you don’t even have a career! Or you think you do but the truth is, it may be moving too fast for you, or going backwards or it may even be stagnant, but eitherway you are still going to stress out about it. But not here, not in the dark. It does not care who you are or should be. It does not have the standards you or the society has set for yourself.

The dark is your ally. And in this world where being different isolates, why not embrace it?

And here, my friends, are my thoughts before I force myself to wake up.
