creativity in the late hours

29/05/2025

At night, after midnight, a blissful silence falls over the day. No one disturbs me anymore. I don't receive any messages, and no more emails arrive in my inbox.

During the day, it's not easy for me to find silence in a world that is always in motion. I have a zillion things to do, and I always feel like I'm running out of time.

But then, late at night, I finally find peace. I don't want to go to sleep right away. I'm afraid I might be a night owl. For me, this is the happiest moment of the day. There's no rush. Nothing needs to be done. Just being, and letting creativity do its work. I sit at my drawing table, and my hand follows the twists and turns in my mind. Suddenly, I can focus intensely, while otherwise I'm constantly distracted. My mind can concentrate better. I even notice that I have more inspiration at night, away from all distractions.
