I'm a Night Person

Hello someone,

The night is the best period of my day. This is not just because when I'm working at night I hear the soft breath of my wife beside me which is quite pleasing to me. It's more because it is the best time to think and to reflect. You really do not need to be asleep to dream. if you spend enough time just being still at night you'll surely dream. The best part of these dreams are that they are controlled and you can decide what comes in and goes out, and you can determine where you want to go to.

The night is the best period of my days because that is when I build my world and take my decisions. Someone said that everything in life begins from a thought. That is why I always desperately wait for the night to come. You can beat me and overwhelm me when I am on motion and in the course of my work. But if you let me spend the night on the matter, it will be another matter by the next day. I think that is why the bible says, weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning. By the time I am through the issue in the night, I'll come out with something that will amaze even me.

You know, life in Lagos kills our nights,and that is why we have become less creative these days. The hold up keeps you on the streets until it is very late. You get home and there is no power most of the time. Your nights are forced to become restless and difficult. Who can think in that kind of environment? What is the point in thinking when you cannot put it down in writing? And the noises from the generators, and what they do to your brain. The dogs that bark ceaselessly, and the gunshots from those who contend with the night with me.

Who will help me rescue my nights?
