Our Midnight Story: Why I Believe Some Lights Are Meant to Glow at Midnight

Hi Hashnode fam! 👋
I’m the founder of Candles By Midnight, a small candle brand with a simple belief: midnight is not the end — it’s where our light is born.
I wanted to share the real story behind this idea. Maybe it’ll resonate with you if you’ve ever found yourself building, dreaming, or doubting in the dark hours of the night.
🌙 What Midnight Means to Me
We all have our own midnight.
Moments when we feel stuck, lost, or alone — moments of silence, burnout, or pure uncertainty. For me, “midnight” was when I doubted myself the most but also found my spark.
I believe it’s within this darkness that we discover our real strength — the part of us that says “try again” when everything says “give up.”
🔥 Candles By Midnight Was Born in the Dark
My first candles were poured on my kitchen counter well past midnight.
There were spills, failed batches, burnt wicks — and me, sitting there wondering if this was all a waste of time.
But in that messy, lonely hour, I found a calm I couldn’t find during the day. I realized: not all lights shine under the sun — some are meant to glow at midnight.
That line stuck with me. It became my brand, my reminder, my late-night push to keep going.
💡 A Note for You, Fellow Dreamer
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve faced your own midnight too — maybe it’s a side project, a startup idea, a creative spark, or even a piece of code you’ve rewritten a hundred times.
If that’s you: keep glowing. Midnight isn’t the end — it’s the start of your brightest light.
