Nocturne #01 — The Hours That Tell the Truth
The day is a stage. Even when we don’t mean to perform, we do. We choose words faster. We smile sooner. We explain ourselves before we’ve fully arrived.
But the night… the night has no audience. It doesn’t clap. It doesn’t demand. The night asks one gentle question: What’s still here when everything else is quiet?
That’s why certain thoughts only come after midnight. They’ve been waiting for the noise to leave. They’re not dramatic — just true.
If you’re reading this in the late hours, don’t rush to solve yourself. Don’t turn your life into a task list. Sit with the slow honesty of the night.
Tonight, you don’t need to be impressive. Just be real — softly.
