[RP] Walking in the Dark

I enjoy of having my headphones on and walk around at the darkness…but this is what I love to do…I like the feeling of being in my own little world, have my music on... When it gets down to the dark and where there's only me on the street, I can do stuff that I want and no one else can see me. Another thing that I like is to enjoy the beauty of the stars and moon as I walk. You can probably found it really cool and it's so quiet around that you can be looking at a such amazed view by yourself.

I saw this on Ming’s post and thought that I would want do a response post on this. Like Ming, I also like walking in the dark. Before our family moved to America, we lived in a city where the brightness never dies -even at night. Numerous of tall buildings and almost everyone (except for housewives, elders and children) that prefers to hang out at anywhere help keeping the city crowded and alive at night.  Since everywhere is bright and peoples everywhere, it is almost impossible to have any experience of strolling in the dark, unless that place is far too isolated from the city for anyone to go there.   

Now that we moved here to Alameda, the nights here are so quiet that I can actually hear others’ conversations even in my own house on the second floor. Although I enjoy walking home with my friends, I also love moments where I walk home alone with my headphones on.  I get to listen to any music I want, no need to be afraid of others that would criticize my taste in music. I can hum along to the songs and sing one or two lines of the lyrics that I remember , no need to worry about my sister’s staring. I can even do all sorts of weird body movement, because I have the darkness as my invisibility cloak, where no one can see me clearly unless they have a flashlight. The darkness is one of the few places that I can be the real me, where my only audience is the shadows of the whatevers on the pavement.
