It's late.

I feel so at peace when I look at a clear night sky. Night time, in general, is so much more beautiful to me than the day. Besides the rare creepy people who linger around some parts of town, there is nobody outside. And I’ve grown to love being alone. I don’t have to deal with people driving by, staring at how pale I am, or perverted men who stray from their wives by yelling obscene things at me. I don’t have to concentrate on anything except for myself. I don’t have to deal with much of anything. There is nothing to block out. I don’t need headphones to blare out cars or trucks or strangers. There is no need for music, because the night in itself is a song - frogs by the pond sing, night birds whistle, and the winds shake the leaves. And most of the time, on a summer’s night, the air has a specific smell that is so strong that, even if you were to move far away from all of this and live the rest of your life in snow, you’d remember the scent of every flower and every leaf that you came in contact with. And I like that, a lot. When I look at the moon, I don’t think bad things, only good. I feel like I’m in an endless meditation because, in reality, not much really matters. The sky has seen thousands upon thousands of years dedicated to worry and war, and still, it’s stayed the same, in one endless piece, staring down at the human race who never cease to ignore and destroy it and everything around them. It’s relieving to know that no matter where you go or what you do in this life and on this earth, you can look up for miles upon miles and the sky will still remain.

I would so much rather be nocturnal so that I could experience this feeling more often. It’s nice to get away from everything. I hope others feel this way.
