My Potent Experience
About four years ago, I had severe anxieties and insomnia issues. I tried everything to get better sleep, starting with melatonin pills I'd only taken when traveling before, to overcome jet lag, and ending with all sorts of herbal teas, meditation, and deep sleep music.

A Love Letter to the Night
Some moments in life don’t speak in words—they shimmer. They blink gently in the dark like fireflies weaving secret messages into the air. I’ve spent many nights sitting beneath the weight of silence, listening—not with my ears, but with my heart—waiting for the night to speak back. It always does. Softly. Slowly. Like a whisper. There’s something sacred about darkness when it’s not filled with noise. In a world that never seems to pause, nighttime feels like the earth’s way of catching its breath. And in that breath, I’ve found something precious: peace. Stillness. And occasionally, a flicker of gold dancing through the shadows. Fireflies. Tiny lights pulsing in the air, asking nothing of me except presence. They don’t blaze like streetlights. They don’t demand attention like city neon. Instead, they glow in silence, modest and patient—inviting you to slow down, to see, to feel. I think that’s what I’ve needed all along. Not more sound. Not more answers. Just stillness. Just a reason to remember that beauty doesn’t always roar—it often whispers. We live in a loud world. Our heads are full of opinions, expectations, unfinished conversations, and alarms that go off before dreams can even begin. But fireflies? They don’t live like that. They remind me that light doesn’t have to be blinding to be powerful. That softness is strength too. That presence—just being here, fully—is its own kind of glow. There was a night not long ago. I couldn’t sleep. My mind was tangled in everything unsaid, everything undone. So I stepped outside barefoot, letting the cool earth remind me I was still alive. I didn’t go far—just to the edge of a small patch of trees near my home. And there they were. Flickering, rising, falling. Not in a hurry. Not in fear. Just… existing. Lighting up the dark, not to shine forever, but to make that single moment matter. I watched in silence. That’s when I realized: the night isn’t empty. It’s full of unspoken stories. The fireflies aren’t just insects. They’re reminders. Of every small joy I’ve forgotten to feel. Of every quiet miracle I’ve brushed past. Of every time I needed healing and didn’t know how to ask for it. They whispered: "You are still here. And you are still light." It felt like a lullaby written just for me. Not sung aloud, but hummed inside my bones. Since that night, I’ve come to love darkness—not as a threat, but as a canvas. A space where the soul gets to glow without competition. A place where you remember who you are, without needing to be seen. So this is my love letter to the night. Thank you—for not rushing me. For holding my silence without asking questions. For the stars you tuck above me like a blanket. For the fireflies that teach me how to glow quietly. For the breath I forget to take during the day. For showing me that some things don’t need fixing—they just need feeling. And thank you, especially, for reminding me that light still lives in me, even when I forget how to find it. Because sometimes, when the world becomes too heavy to hold, all it takes is a single flicker in the dark to remind us—we were never alone.
