Midnight Melancholy
Everyone is going through a struggle. Some of us do so in silence
Preface:
In this unique article, I give my readers a bit of a glimpse with some of the sadder thoughts I deal with every now and then as I sit in the silence of my room late at night. I see it as an opportunity to be very real and vulnerable with my audience, and to show that despite how much someone may seem to have everything together in their life, everyone, everyone, is going through their own struggles.
It’s 20 past midnight and it’s quiet in my room.
I got a haircut today and I spent the day relaxing, but nothing, no matter how good the day is, can truly prevent an episode of midnight melancholy.
A nod to my appreciation for alliteration, midnight melancholy is a term I just invented to describe the kind of blues I feel sometimes late at night when it’s quiet and I’m just thinking about life. Thinking about where I’m at. Career-wise, social life-wise, love life-wise, etc.
I’m feeling tired and ready to go to bed, but tonight, it’s also a little different. Normally, I keep these thoughts to myself…
