In The Shadows
In The Shadows

There really is something about the stillness and tranquility of the night that makes one want to stare at the dark sky for hours and just think. There's something in the way the cold air caresses your face that makes one feel a touch of the serenity that he's long been wishing for. There's something about the absence of the scorching sun that makes one feel safe and protected, free from all harm and hurt. There's something about nighttime that pushes one to close his tired eyes and picture all the things that has happened on the hours that have passed.

Not everything is as peaceful and passive as the depth of the night. Not everything will be as secured and free from harm's way. Not everything will be far away from all the hustle and bustle that our small world brings about.
Sometime's its the other things that make you want to close your eyes and turn away from the reality that is your life.

Of the 24 hours we spend living every day, we use up an average of one-third of our time dozing off unto the world we always dream to be in. This is the only time where we can escape from the harsh actuality of the day that has just passed. This is the only time where we can be willingly unconscious of the realm we reside in and readily let our subconscious mind take us away.

It is a fact that humans dream all the time. One may not always remember or commit to his memory the dreams that he has had, but it is a verity that our minds are still on the go even though we're fast asleep.

It is in those few hours of dreaming that we let our inner selves delve into the unknown. It is in those few hours that we let our souls break away from our bodies and let them roam the grounds of our lives. And it is in those few hours that we wish our dreams were made into a big, fat, grand, whopping reality. A reality that we are too afraid of, too sick of, too tired of, too annoyed at, and too furious at. Yet all still remain too in love with life to even give up on it.

As the night passes us by, someone out there may be dying, crying, rejoicing, fantasizing, living, fighting, screaming, or praying. We will probably never understand why or how we are conscious of our own selves and not have the ability to decipher another soul's existence. We may never have an idea how we are able to control our own machines and let the ghost inside it free every time we are dead to the world. But if there's one thing we can and may know, it is that at the end of the day, we are given 50/50 chance or so of living again. The uncertainty of the night may cause us anticipation and thrill, curiosity and exasperation, eagerness and hope, but as we fall asleep tonight, know that as the sun shines tomorrow and as you open your eyes once again, you are given another chance to take on the beautiful reality that was given you.

So make the most out of it.
