What's your Username origin story?

I'm curious, how/why did you choose your username? What is its history and meaning?

I chose Nyx because she is the primordial Greek goddess of night. I'm half Greek and have always been a night owl. I think I feel the most myself alone at night.

Nyx was taken so I added light because I try to add some light to other peoples' lives. I honestly believe what truly matters in this life are moments when people feel seen and heard.

I also have always liked the idea that you need both light and dark times to appreciate the breadth of things.

Thank you for coming to my TED tallk.

EDIT: I just wanted to say thank you all so much for sharing! It brings joy reading all these answers.
