I work nights at a hospital, and sometimes I get home just as the sun is starting to rise.
One morning last week, I was sitting in my car outside my apartment, too tired to move.
I watched the sky change from dark blue to orange.
I started thinking about all the people who were just waking up, all the people finishing their shifts like me, and all the people somewhere else in the world getting ready for bed.
We experience life so differently, yet we’re all moving through the same world together.
It was a strangely comforting thought after a hard night.
I stayed in the car until the sun was fully up.
