How do you define the dark? At its core, it’s the absence of light.
If that’s the case, then night similarly would be the absence of day.
I work at night. I exist in the dark. As such, I have the time and the quiet to contemplate these things.
I’m not sure how I ended up living my life at night, but a few things I am sure about. Silence is loud and darkness is maddening.
I used to know the light, I used to embrace the day. Day people seem to live; night people simply exist.
