Watching the sunset is one beautiful sight to behold, it captivates so many people, and it's an evidence that a day on God's green earth is slowly coming to an end.
I wasn't usually one to take notice of these kinds of occurrences before, like I just knew that night was coming, and it finally comes when everywhere is dark, and then in the morning, the day slowly begins to 'appear'. It was not such a big deal for me.
Some of the most beautiful times of the day are sunrise and sunset. We want to know which is your favorite and why? Also, please add a photo you've taken of your favorite one so we can all share in the beauty of it!
My approach to sunset and sunrise changed in 2019 when I had to go for my National Youth Service somewhere up North, this was my first time going that far. I was born and bred in the South, so this was my first time going over to the North.
On getting there, on the first day I arrived I discovered that at around 6:00 pm the sun had already set, like the whole place was already dark, which wasn't something I was used to where I was coming from. By 6:00 pm, the day was still quite bright, everything was intriguing. By the next day, another thing happened, by 6:00 am again, the day was already so bright, the sun had risen a long time ago, I had to mention it to my family when they called and I had to give them a rundown of my experience so far, my dad understood it more because he had lived in the North for some time.
One of the reasons I appreciate sunset is that it gives me a moment to appreciate the day's experiences, from morning up until that time, what I was able to achieve for the day, the hurdles I had to jump, and everything about the day. It also gives me a chance to think about my life in general.
As I had said earlier it is a beauty to behold, observing the sunset brings about this deep connection with nature, and it helps me appreciate the handiwork of God and nature also. Its array of vibrant colorful paintings in the sky never fails to leave an imprint on our mind's eyes, it could even be captured in camera if one is handy.
It also has such a calming and soothing effect that tends to absorb all of your worries at that moment. It also provides a means for escaping the hustle and bustle of our very busy lives.
Have you tried watching the sunset with a loved one, or even a stranger, all I can say is that it creates some sort of sense of connection between you both and leaves behind a lasting memory (you should try it and see, and thank me later).
I love both the sunrise and the sunset, but I think I appreciate the sunset more, this is my response to the prompt.
Thank you for stopping by
