Back in my college days, I used to go on walks with my girlfriend late at night (12-4 AM).
We'd walk down to the gas station near where we lived and get ourselves a couple sodas and a snack. And we'd just chat, snack, and walk the night away. Walking down that late-night road, where only tired truckers and speeding racers visited.

My girlfriend doesn't like remembering those days, since she was silently battling depression and anxiety - she couldn't sleep well, couldn't keep regular diets, couldn't enjoy the busy daylight hours.
But I look back to those days very fondly. Back to when it was just her and I, laughing through the nights, climbing up fences, being friendly with the homeless people, and just living life as we were.
It's so strange to know now that the two of us had such completely different lenses to those days of our lives.

Her and I are married now, living out our middle ages with a youthful step. Still enjoying the little and big things together.
Thank God she's not struggling with depression anymore. And I would never want her to re-experience that time of her life.
But I do miss our midnight walks to that old gas station, staring at the piercing bright lights of those pitch-black nights.
I miss getting ourselves some sodas and snacks and having our laughs echo through the quiet chill.

It's hard to do that now - now that she sleeps well, now that she avoids soda and junk food for a healthier diet, and is quite productive in the daytime. Our dates these days are in busy business avenues and with expensive, healthier foods. And those are fun.
But I do miss those nights.
I'm just glad I got to experience them when I did.
I just wish they were under better circumstances, so she could see why I thought they were always so beautiful.

I love how you have no responsibilities during those hours, no one expects anything from you or asks you to do anything. Just chillin

Around 3-4:00 AM is typically called "the blue hour". It's when the first light of the sun appears, but it's not sunrise yet. The light through the atmosphere gives the sky a deep blue glow, but it's still dark enough where you can only see silhouettes of things from a distance.

"A few times in my life I've had moments of absolute clarity when, for a few brief seconds, the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh, it's as though it had all just come into existence. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be." - George Falconer.

I remember being a teenager walking through neighborhood streets at 3 a.m. with some of my best friends. All you could hear for miles were the sound of crickets, the distant echoes of cars moving down the highways and us quietly talking and laughing. It's like the weight of the world lifts and you feel so free. What I wouldn't give to relive those moments at least one more time.

[beegboi]

Damn, that's beautiful, just look at those low low gas prices... Good times.

[sasilinno]

Honestly, the community here and the comments are so peaceful and nice, I like it here. To stay in a bubble of my world, away from the cruel world

[ahmedohanok]

Listening to this after graduating... 4AM, dark outside, no cars or people on the street, just you and your thoughts... The world seems to stop and it feels like youre the only person in the world...

[Tulip_bip]

I love 12pm - 3am. The weight of the world lifts for a while, and you don't need to do anything. No bustling streets, no harsh sunlight, and pure silence. it's so calm and nice, I wish it could last forever sometimes

My parents never understand why I like staying up late till 3-4 AM. They don't understand the peace and tranquility that it gives, where it feels like the Earth stopped for a moment. The world is so noisy yk.

edit: Hello! I didn't expect this comment to get some attention. I just want to say that the reason I like staying up late is because we're in some kind of problem right now and being the oldest child, I'm expected to help when I'm needed. The only time I can have some alone time is during the evening where I can do my homework peacefully without some any kind of interruption. Next year would be my last year in high school and I can't wait to go into college so I can finally get my life back on track and fix my sleeping schedule. I'm also hoping that by next year, my family and I can finally move on and start a new life. I'm thankful to everyone's advice and I wish y'all a happy life

Wow this got a lot of likes. Not like anybody will care but I graduated highschool last year yay.. And no, I never got to fix my sleeping schedule lol it just got worse. I'm in 1st year college rn, funny how time flies so fast.

During the pandemic I worked in a supermarket, and often did night shifts that would finish at 3am.

When I was done for the night I would drive past my turning on purpose and go to a service station on the main route out of town, off the dual carriageway, no houses or traffic and hardly a soul around.

I’d park up, grab a coffee and sometimes chat to the lady behind the till, sometimes to the lorry drivers and road workers, emergency workers, hotel staff - whoever happened to cross paths and share a tiny fraction of our lives that night. Maybe we’d smoke under the stars and watch the cold air billow out with the smoke.

There’s just something mesmerising about petrol stations late at night. Especially in the rain or mist.

So simple but such a beautiful time in my life, now that I think about it

To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.🥰❤

[zaerdna]

If you live near nature, you'll understand me when I say that laying or walking around in a field at 3 am with music like this in your ears while looking at the stars on a moonlight summer night really makes you think about life, and why you're still here, your future and your past, you current situation, that one girl on your mind.

I’m here at 2:06 AM. This video just showed up in my recommendations. I’ve ALWAYS been a night owl. My entire family and even my wife would tell you that about me. However, I’ve always just felt an immense sense of peace during these hours. Times are tough and I have a sneaking suspicion that they are only going to get harder and more difficult. We need to remember to be kind and compassionate during these times. We are alone at times…but we do have each other.

Anyways, I’m out for a smoke. Thanks for letting another faceless traveler rant. Best wishes if you read this.

[aurafeeling]

This is the only non-toxic and beautiful community on the internet, I love you guys

[nightmrj]

i love getting a tiny glimpse into people’s lives by reading these comments glad to know there are so many fellow night owls out there maybe i’m not as alone as i feel

[thewayforward]

we’re all in this together trying to figure out this thing called life. One day we’ll get there, keep pushing yourself, never let your dreams die. I’m trying my best, I hope you all are too. Stay safe, big up the 1-4 am gang.

[sunnynova]

Take a deep breath before before you force yourself to get back up. You can make mistakes. You can be imperfect. You can be human. You can do it wrong before you do it right. Dont let one step back negate a hundred steps forward. Keep going, keep rising. Never forget why you started.

It's a quarter past 3am in the Philippines.
I'm chilling in my dormitory, studying. All my roommates are asleep, there's no noise apart from the fan and this video. The world feels so peaceful.
May whoever reads this find peace and happiness to.

人生で1番辛いことがあった
心がからっぽで何もしたくない
元気な歌より今はこういう雰囲気が心地いい
