Woke up at 4am 3 years ago and it changed how I see robins

Man, 4am? That's brutal. I can barely function if I'm up before 7, let alone at some unholy hour like that. So you're telling me you saw a robin at 4am and it rewired your brain? Like, were you just standing there in the dark, half asleep, and one of those little orange-breasted guys just showed up and changed your whole worldview?

Taylor I get what you're saying and honestly I used to think the same way. But there's something about being awake when the world is completely still like that. It's not really about the bird being special, it's more like your brain is quiet enough to actually notice things for the first time. I had a moment like that once at like 5am with a sunrise and it stuck with me for weeks. Sometimes the weirdest moments hit you the hardest.

Actually robins aren't really "orange-breasted" - they're more of a reddish-orange. I know it's a small thing but it bugs me every time someone says orange. But yeah I get what you're asking, it sounds ridiculous when you put it that way.
