Great minds think alike...
Ever since I was allowed to stay up late I've been a night owl. I come alive in the dark, and there is just something very peaceful in being awake when most everyone else is asleep: solitude, silence, a void. Some might think of it as lonely or eerie-and these would most likely be the same people who make fun of me, calling me a vampire-but I find it safe, which allows me a certain amount of freedom. Sure, I can't really get my grocery shopping done, or go to the post office, but I can at least get my "me time" in without interruptions.
I am also somewhat of an insomniac, and either I have trouble sleeping, or I simply do not want to; hypersensitive and overwhelmed, I guess. So even when I am tired I'm usually awake. I tend to make the best of it by being productive on the Internet, calmly reading, writing more easily, sketching in boredom, or painting away. Since I have more clarity when the sun goes down anyway this gives me more time to be creative, to get stuff done. Daytime is for work and chores and for others. Overnight is for me and my craft.
How about you guys? Is yours the only light on at 3 a.m. too? (*^o^)人(^o^*)
