Nyctophile

(N) : A person who loves night, darkness

I'm sure it comes as zero surprise that I am a nyctophile, given how late I stay up until. My usual hours of operation are sometime in the afternoon until around 7-8 AM. I love the night time, there is a lot to it that just makes me feel at home, things I cannot even explain.

I've been like this since I was 14, depression kept me away from my family and the only place I could be was awake at night. I still remember the first ever time I was up a whole night on my own. I was in my dad's apartment, and had just been sketching stuff all night while sitting on the floor of our living room. I remember walking out on the balcony as the sun came out, shortly after my dad came outside and offered me coffee.

It has been my home ever since. I've gone out at night as well, a few times. Early early in the morning, through woods and forests. It's dangerous, but ... I love it. There is a type of thrill you get from being out there when everyone else is asleep, there is also a wonder of walking by stores as the late night crew are busy stocking the shelves.

The whole world at night is like one giant maintenance period, everyone just waiting for the new day in a sort of trance, while the special batch of weird are busy making it so.

I love the night.
