My love for sunsets

Today I watched the sunset again and it reminded me how much I truly love them. There is something so peaceful and beautiful about the sky changing colour slowly as the day ends. The orange, pink and soft red colour spread across the clouds and make everything looks magical for few short minutes. I took try to catch the moment whenever I can, even if it only for a little while. Sometime I stand near the window at the home or step outside for a few minutes, just to watch. I always capture the moment in my phone as I click picture of sunset and I love to take picture of sunset. Even on the very busy days, I try to take a quick sense. Break feels like a small and special gift to myself. I think I love sunset because they feel calm and hopeful at the same time. The day is ending, but it ends in such a gentle and pretty way like it makes me feel like that, even after tough days, there can still be something nice waiting at the end. When I watch the sun going down, my mind become much quieter. All the rushing thoughts from work on daily life slowdown. I breathe a little deeper and feel more present in the moment instead of worrying about tomorrow.

Sunset also make me think about time passing. Each day is a different from the last. Some sunsets are brighter and dramatic with colourful clothes. Other day they are soft and simple with gentle colours that fade slowly. It reminds me that life keeps changing. Someday feels very exciting and full of energy and other day feels quite slow. Both kind of days are okay, watching the sky help me except whatever kind of day I had.

I remember for evening last week, when I was feeling quite stressed about work and other things. I stepped out and just stood there quietly looking at the sky. The colour slowly melted together and the light becomes softer and warmer. By the time sun disappear completely, I felt a little lighter inside. It did not solve all my problems, but it gave me a short peaceful break from my thoughts. That small moment felt enough to help me feel better. I like sharing this love for sunset with people close to me sometimes. My family knows I enjoy them, so we sometimes sit together on the balcony in the evening. We don’t always talk much. Just sitting quietly and watching the sky feels nice and comfortable. On days, when I am alone, I take a quick photo or simply keep the memory fresh in my mind. These small moments at something warm and positive to my daily life.

I just hope I never get too busy to notice sunsets. My love for sunset is simple, but very real. It brings me a sense of calm, remind me to slow down and gives me a little hope every single day. Tomorrow, I will try to watch it again, even if it’s only for two minutes, it always feels worth it.
