Selenophile

Have you ever experienced staring blankly at a full moon? Have you ever wonder and asked yourself, "why am I looking at the moon and feel relax and at peace?" If your answer is yes, then I am not alone.

I am a  person who is deeply attracted by the moon especially if it is a full bright moon in a vast, clear sky. I am captivated by marvelous view in front of me. It's moon glare in my face. It so relaxing and soothing. I feel so much pleasure just by looking at it. It's funny how I am able to find tranquility in the night, having calmness in every nerves, always in peaceful state than what I feel in their so-called cheerful, and bright day.

I read a lot of stories and watched a lot of movies about werewolves that are transforming from human to their werewolf form. I know I am not like them because they don't really exist (or do they???, I wish I am, haha! ), but I find this absurd because I am the only one in my family with this deep attraction to the moon.

Because of my attraction to the moon, I felt the urge to research about it. And I found out that this love and passion for the moon really does exist and I am not the only one with this obsession of the moon. As I mentioned, I did a little research about person who loves the moon, and what I found out is that we are called "Selenophile or Philoselene". I did further research to find out more about it. And the name was derived from a Titan goddess in Greek mythology, Selene.

It is really fascinating!

We are so blessed to be given the privilege of viewing wonderful creations around us for free. I don't feel absurd or weird now because I now know that I am not alone, there is someone out there who is also enjoying the pleasure and calmness by looking at the moon.

Are you also enjoying the moon like me? Are you also a Selenophile or Philoselene?

Can you share your experience and feeling looking at the moon?

Feel free to comment, I can't wait to know if you are also a moon lover.
