I find comfort in the cold and dark. I don't know why but it's something that makes me feel at peace.
Most of you know that I'm a professional cyclist and that I go cycling early in the morning. To be precise, I go cycling at 4:30 in the morning when people are sleeping comfortably. You hear dogs barking at each other, It might be because of territorial issues but yes.
You can also see people unloading bundles of newspapers near tea shops at that hour. The smell of freshly printed newspaper is satisfying to a limit until it starts stinging your nose. Most importantly, The smell of the air is immaculate. There's no best way to describe how it smells, But it sure is refreshing. Sometimes you see people going out on early morning walks and I see them look at me because I'd be all dressed up in my cycling kit.
It's also astonishing how quiet everything is when it's dark. It feels like the entire neighborhood might wake up even if you whisper. But, That's the beauty of it. You never get tired of it. It's addictive in a certain way. Once you start waking up early when it's still dark, You'll never be able to stop doing it.
It's sort of magical in a way.
