Night

I became notorious for staying up until God awful hours of the night and so if I had to get up early the next morning it would be a struggle. My family would ask why I always stayed up so late especially if I knew I had to get up early and the answer I always gave never satisfied them. I would say that I just simply liked it. Now that is true but it isn't completely true. The full truth is it is my only time where I am completely alone and no one expects anything from me. I am free to do whatever my heart desires without the fear of being pulled away by one of my many responsibilities. During the day I work for a Real Estate Company and when I am not doing that I have my freelance business and my family and school... but at night it's nothing. I can stare at the wall for 4 hours in complete silence and no one will care. It is a time when you are not expected to do anything. You are not subject constantly finding something to do. You are able to be the truest form of yourself without fear of judgment and ridicule. 

How do you explain that to someone? It is just something that you learn. You learn to fight your exhaustion so you can enjoy a little bit of true freedom inside your bedroom walls. So why would I waste that time sleeping? Why would I waste those few hours of peace just to sleep? I wish there were more hours in the day, so I could stay up for hours on end and still get a restful 8 hours sleep and not miss anything going on in the day time. I wish I could freeze time for just a little while.
