Hey fellow devs & makers! 👋
When I started Candles By Midnight, I thought I was just making candles. But really, I was learning how to wait.
🕯️ Patience, Pour by Pour
Candlemaking is slow. You melt. You mix. You pour. You wait. Sometimes the wax cracks. Sometimes the scent is off. Sometimes you mess up the whole batch and have to start over at 2AM — and the world keeps sleeping while you fix it.
It reminded me a lot of coding and building side projects: the bugs, the late nights, the small tweaks that make it click.
🌙 Midnight is a Teacher
Midnight taught me that good things need darkness. Growth happens when no one’s watching: late commits, scrapped drafts, hidden experiments. The unglamorous parts. The work that never makes it to your highlight reel.
✨ The Quiet Wins Count Too
If you’re reading this and your project is stuck or messy or unfinished — trust your midnight. Keep pouring, keep fixing the cracks, keep testing the scent. Your light is brewing in the dark.

I’d love to hear: What’s something you’re quietly building right now? Drop it below — let’s cheer each other on. 🌙💛
