About Me


"Night tells me what Day forgets"
Hi, I’m Nathifa Debellotte — writer, memoirist, and the voice behind DeNight Owl.
I wouldn't consider myself a professionally trained writer. I write because I have to. When the words escape my mind, they often find their way to the page — raw, honest, and necessary. Writing has always been my haven — the place I go when my silence needs translation and my thoughts need a home.
Over the years, I've written countless poems, a few speeches and sermons, and even a handful of beginner novels. But now, I'm creating a home for my previous work, and I'm devoting myself to something more sacred: my memoir. In this space, you'll find glimpses of my journey.
The blog holds space for:
-
Poems and passages of truth — past and present
-
Family dynamics, emotional healing, and generational legacy
-
Spiritual insights from dreams, prayers, bible study, movies, and quiet revelations
-
Ongoing themes of character growth, identity, relationships, and the power of perspective
The Heart of DeNight Owl
We all live with various realities — shaped by our upbringing, our wounds, and our worldview. It's not about who's right, but about learning to honor each other's truth with grace and forgiveness.
I believe writing can change how we see the world and each other, shared or not.
Stay tuned for a special post where I'll share more about my blog name, the symbolism of the owl, and the deeper values that guide this space.
Thank you for visiting. I hope you leave a little more grounded, a little more open, and a little more seen.
With love,
Nathifa
