THE NIGHT
The night time has been a significant part of my life, filled with happy moments, sad moments, and scary moments. However, my childhood was marked by a very scary event that made me afraid of the night time. Whenever the dark time approached, I wanted it to end as soon as possible. I hated the night time, and I would hide myself from it. My insecurities and fears were magnified during the night time, and I would cry myself to sleep, terrified by my own memories.
For a long time, I allowed my fear of the night time to control me, and I would hide from it, not wanting to face the memories of the monster that haunted me. It was a difficult time in my life, and the memories of those dark times still haunt me to this day, even though I am now in my 20s. my fear of the night time persisted, and I would experience nightmares and feel sick or heartbroken after a night of restlessness. People often asked me why I didn't go out at the night, why I didn't sleep at night, but I couldn't explain to them how difficult it was for me to sleep at night peacefully.
However, I realized that I could not continue to live my life in fear of the night time.
Despite my fear, I decided to face my insecurities and love the night time instead of being scared of it. I started working at night and made friends with the stars, the moon, the darkness, and the silence. I felt the loneliness of the night and realized that it was just like me, vulnerable and in need of someone to listen to its stories, hard work, fears, and difficult times.
I began to chat with the night time, and we became best friends. No one else could ever be as close to me as the night time, and it became a safe haven for me to express my deepest, darkest secrets. I learned that it was important to break free from my inner fears and to let everything out to grow in life. Facing my fears, accepting them, and embracing them without feeling ashamed made me a stronger person.
Now, I understand that each dark night has made me a stronger person, and I have learned how to be strong even in my weakest moments. I have embraced myself, imperfections and all, and I know that I can overcome anything with courage and perseverance. The night time will always hold a special place in my heart, reminding me of the challenges I have overcome and the person I have become.
