Its Midnight…

I’ve never published a post in this community but I never miss a chance to read some midnight stories on here. They are always really interesting to read and it’s great to see what different people are up to at midnight.
It’s more like a safe space for night crawlers after insomnia kicks in. Kudos to @samostically for creating a community like this where the night owls have a platform for expression.

This week’s prompt is an interesting one. I’m not a midnight crawler and maybe until I get an actual job that keeps me up all night, I’ll always be found sleeping. For some weird reason, no matter how early I go to bed, I find myself up at midnight for a few hours.

Midnight means a lot to me when I’m at different places. My favorite part is the silence that comes with it. The chaos of the whole day finally comes to an end.
At midnight, I receive non stop creative ideas. My brain processes things faster and I function better at the time.
I always go to bed really early so from 1am I’m automatically up most times to pee.

At midnight, I say my prayers and connect with God easily. My mom’s favorite time to say her prayers is at midnight and it’s a tradition I imbibed. It’s a sacred time where I connect with God in more solemnity .

During a loved one’s birthday, I’m always excited to stay up at midnight to wish them a happy birthday. Midnight means the start of a new day and something fresh, it also means they turn a new age and it’s always exciting to stay up and wish them first before anyone else.

Back in school, my friends and i satisfy all our cravings at midnight.
We take walks, sometimes car rides and just drive around to get food and junks to munch on . It’s one of my all time favorite activities to do. I see it as a perfect bonding experience.

As a kid, i hated midnight time because I had this weird fear of silence and the dark that messed with me until I grew older . Overtime i realized it’s the perfect time to utilize your potentials.
The perfect time i study for exams is at midnight, perfect time to have conversations for me is also at midnight and the perfect time to think is definitely at midnight.

Although it’s very difficult for me to stay up for hours at midnight, from next year I plan to utilize the midnight hours. During the day, i barely have time for myself. Most times i manage my parents businesses or chef up meals.
I’ll start utilizing midnight hours to bring back my habit of reading books. It’s the perfect alone-time and I can easily finish up different books without any distractions as compared to during the day.

Midnight is such a special time. It’s either a start of a new year in a person’s life or the end of 365 days and the beginning of a new one. It marks the end of the problems of the day and the beginning of a new one.
Hours of midnight to me is a period of sober reflection and the birth of new beginnings.

It’s 12:40am as at the time of writing this post.
