This is a video of my hostel frontage….and road this video was taken by 2am i was feeling a bit filled up in my head so I decided to clear my head with some song and serene environment
The whole place was so quiet that you could hear your own footsteps on the tarred road. It was around 2am and everywhere was dark except for those few streetlights standing far apart, throwing that yellowish light on the empty road. I stepped out because my head was just full, too many things running through my mind and I needed to breathe. So I put on earphones, played some slow songs and just started walking. The hostel buildings were on one side, most of them dark, but you could see the shape of the gates and the small guardhouse. No bike, no car, nobody outside. Just crickets and the sound of my song in my ears. The air was cold and it hit different, like it was washing everything off my mind.
Walking down that road felt different at that time of night. During the day this same road is full of students, buses, bikes and noise. But at 2am it was like a different world. The trees on the side were moving small because of breeze, and the light from the street poles was making shadows on the ground. I was filming as I was walking and the camera was shaking a bit because I was just walking randomly, not really aiming at anything. There were some patches on the road, and you could see where water had collected from earlier rain. I kept going straight, looking at the empty road ahead, feeling like the whole school belonged to me alone at that moment. Sometimes I even stopped to just stand and look up at the sky, it was black but clear, no noise to disturb it.
It was peaceful but also a bit eerie if I’m being honest. Because everything was too quiet. No voices, no generator sound, just silence and music. I passed the gate area and saw the security post, the guy was probably inside sleeping. The buildings looked taller at night, and some of them had just one light on inside. I wasn’t scared though, I’ve lived here long enough to know the area. I just needed that air, that calm. My head was heavy before I came out but as I kept walking and listening to music, it started to clear. That’s why I like late night walks sometimes. It’s like the night resets you, and all the wahala in your head just fades away little by little.
By the time I got to the end of the road and turned back, the sky was still black and the air was cold. I didn’t see a single person the whole time, just me and the road and the streetlights. That’s my hostel frontage for you. Not fancy, but at 2am it has this serene vibe that you won’t get in the afternoon. I recorded it so I can remember how calm it felt that night. After that walk I went back inside and slept better. Sometimes you just need to step outside, clear your head, and let the quiet do its thing. Honestly those few minutes outside were worth it, because when I laid on my bed after, my mind was finally light again.
THANKS FOR VISITING
