Growing up, I've had so many diverse ways of describing midnight depending on the phase I am passing through.
While I was a kid and teenage, midnight was a scary period for me to wake up and see the darkest side of the sky through the window. The fear of hearing any possible sound that I count strange fears me. Even the quietness of the midnight scares me the more as I would prefer the interaction of people at daytime to a midnight where everywhere is as quiet as a graveyard.
So midnight to me as a kid was like a nightmare I always wanted to wake up from to enjoy the beautiful sunshine of daytime.
But now, as an adult, my perspective changed. It's not like I'm no longer scared at midnight just like my teenage years, most especially in this new site where I get to hear the sound of chirping birds at night and when I lost my mum. It was indeed another scary time to either sleep or stay awake to see the dark side of the sky like something scary was there, I don't know.
However, I have now found midnight to be a time for smooth execution of some of my life activities and I will explain better.
First and majorly, I don't know how to connect to doing anything either physically or spiritually when I'm distracted by noise and it has just been the grace that I pray and commune with God at daytime trying to ensure I am doing that in a less distracting place but at midnight,there's this total peace and quietness I need, to talk to him as long as I want and however I wish.
Midnight now as an adult also serves as my reflecting moment (midnight is a confirmed moment to think deeply on life), cos my sleep are not always immediately around after prayer and then use my midnight data to get some learning videos and movies if there's a recommendation.
Lastly, let me end with my midnight walks, lol. I know that's not funny and ideal but whenever I'm in transit up till midnight, there's this confidence of smooth travels and no delay and I'm sure every night travellers would agree to this unlike daytime though with a bit of fear just like I've been having as a kid.
Overall, midnight is still that scary part of the night to me but at the same time became my saving hours to commune with God better whenever I want to.
