The Frugal Mix

The night is like a magnifier: everything seems bigger, everything seems more valuable. When the dark comes down, what is good feels better and what is bad feels worse. Affection turns into love, anger into hatred, beauty into perfection, passion into obsession, bad mood into depression... 

Our thoughts become louder to the point where we cannot ignore them like we do during the day while absorbed by our practical life. We begin perceiving surroundings and ourselves ten times better than usual, which makes us more sensitive to stronger emotions, which makes us more alive.

So, if at night, you feel angry, you feel depressed, you think you desperately need something or someone, you feel your obsessions pressuring you, you think things are all against you, STOP! Maybe you are over-perceiving the situation. Maybe what you feel is only under the magnifier: it looks big but it is only an illusion. Just hold on a few more hours and it's morning again!
