What do you think people are really searching for when they wake up at 3AM just to see Bromo sunrise?

@Firman Maulana I think people aren’t really chasing the sunrise itself. They’re searching for a quiet moment when the world is still dark, their thoughts slow down, and they can feel small but grounded at the same time. Bromo at 3AM feels like a pause button we don’t get in everyday life.
