I had a small conversation an hour back with a close friend about sunrise and sunsets.
I love sunrise and hate sunset and it was the opposite for my friend, if given a chance she could spend her life watching sunsets. She absolutely adores it.
The conversation made me think why I hate sunsets so much, I have captured some beautiful moments around the sunsets ? then I thing led onto another and may be it’s because the idea of the day ending makes me so depressing that I just want to be consumed with some activity during my late evenings. My loneliness is at the peak during that time. I believe it is symbolic (and very literal) of something coming to an end, and there is sadness that comes along with such a bittersweet ending.
I wanted to end my thoughts on this, then and there, but I couldn’t help but overthink that it didn’t happen to me since childhood ? or even in college ?
Did this happen to me when I moved to another city, but that happened almost three years back, why is it hitting me badly these days ?
I eventually did answers all my questions.(Thanks to the power of overthinking)
#aha moment
I changed my job recently and the working hours of the previous job was quite late. I didn’t had to see any sunsets or the dusk, It was completely dark by the time I used to get free but in the new job it was the opposite, I get free early.
But why does it happen to me ?
this question made me google and I ended up with a lot of information as usual.
I am not the only one *sigh of relief* and apparently a large portion of dopamine is released during the sunsets which make us feel sad during that time.
