Night Shift Writer
Nico Vale writes about relationships, culture, attraction, social behavior, and the things people would probably explain differently if they knew someone was taking notes.
Curious by nature and skeptical of easy answers, Nico is less interested in telling people how to live than figuring out why they live the way they do.
Night Shift
Night Shift · The Beauty Bar EditLife looks different after dark.
Dating. Relationships. Nightlife. Culture. Modern masculinity and femininity. And everything that gets complicated somewhere in between.
Nico writes about life after dark—not because everything interesting happens at night, but because people tend to become considerably less rehearsed after sunset.
A Few Questions
Nico, Briefly.
What's on repeat lately?
Old albums. I've become suspicious of anything the algorithm is too excited for me to hear.
A city you've never gotten over?
We're not naming cities yet. I still have people there.
What's something people misunderstand about confidence?
Real confidence is quiet. Insecurity has excellent speakers.
