Inspired by an otherwise ordinary summer dawn that took me by surprise after a night squandered on my gloomy balcony, insomnia gnawing at my sanity. There I was, wide awake, grappling with thoughts I couldn't quite grasp, longing for my weary mind to surrender to the sweet release of sleep, to let oblivion take over.

But as the hours dragged on, something miraculous happened. I was graced with one of the most stupendous, sleep-deprivation-fueled, acid-like spectacles of my life. The sun made its grand entrance, casting its warm, peach-colored light into the shallow vale below my apartment, transforming everything it touched into a radiant masterpiece.

In that moment, I realized that some gifts are worth the struggle. No matter how desperate you feel in the darkness, never regret the moments that lead you to witness such glorious dawns. They remind you that even the bleakest nights can give birth to breathtaking mornings.

For anyone who hears too much, feels too fast, and hasn’t found a home in language. Glitching with grace?
