When Night Becomes Day

Before we got married my wife and I had a group of friends that were always looking towards the net step in life. We all graduated from highschool together, went to college, met our “soulmates”, graduated college, started our careers, married our “soulmates”, had kids…..Whoa Whoa Whoa back up a second.

This is where Mrs. Cardz and I started to pull away from that gang. We realized that although this line of thinking was the “social norm”, it just wasn’t for us. We spent so much time looking to the future and the next “step” in our life that we realized we were letting life pass us by. Now that’s not so say we are against kids. If fact we may find ourselves working on turning our “Two of a Kind” into a “Full House” soon but it’s been a few years.

We’ve taken the time to branch out, learn new things and enjoy life. Where as the other six couples five couples have all settled down and now have toddlers a plenty running around we’ve been cruising parties and bars, dancing, and flirting; Learning more about ourselves and the world around us. That’s not to say our old friends didn’t enjoy a party or bar on occasion but more often then not everyone was home by midnight and the big parties were only twice a year. (Halloween and New Years)

Over the past few years we have found a whole new life, one that thrives and hides in the twilight. At the time when our previous friends would be heading home we have found that others are just getting started. There are times, whole weekends where we barely see the sun light. Where we race home battling Evil Grey, the hazy time before the sun breaches the horizon. Where the sky is not totally dark but the day has not yet begun. Big parties happen almost every week. And events we once considered exciting can not hold a candle to what we know today.

Society has no power when a person casts no shadow. We are all just beings. Nomadic creatures searching for life after dusk. Hand in hand we navigate the darkness and the warm life that feeds it. Our future is always on our minds however we rarely let it control our actions. This is the way we live and we’d have it no other way.
