Embracing My Inner Night Owl

From my childhood days, I have struggled to rise with the sun. While others find sleep in the quiet hours of the night, I thrive in the stillness that darkness brings.

Growing up with two siblings and two playful dogs in a home situated along a bustling main road, silence was a luxury rarely afforded to us. The constant noises of passing vehicles and the echoes of children's laughter from the nearby park filled our days with noise. But when night came, the world seemed to pause, and a sense of peace enveloped everything around me.

It was during these quiet hours that I found my rhythm, my productivity peaking as the rest of the world slept. While others enjoy the early morning light, I embrace the gentle glow of the moon.

My nightly routine became my hideaway, a time to delve into my studies, lose myself in a book, and absorb knowledge with ease. The quietness of the night allowed me to focus, to concentrate, and to achieve a level of productivity that I hadn't experienced during the daylight hours.

While society often talks about the virtues of early risers and the countless benefits of a morning routine, I've come to embrace my nocturnal nature. Waking up early may be the norm, but why should normalcy command my path?

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." So, why should I be ashamed of dancing to the beat of my own song?

Perhaps instead of viewing my preference for the night as a weakness, I should consider it as a strength. Who says that productivity can only be achieved in the light of day? Success has no schedule. Whether it's the early hours of the morning or the late hours of the night, what truly matters is finding a melody that I can sing in.

So, as the world slumbers, I'll be chasing my dreams in the beauty of the night. For in the darkness lies my light.
