When Midnight Became My Therapist

is based on those who process the emotional states of their own lives—sports and the late hours of the night—into a time when the world falls silent and one looks inward.

As you know, friends, during the day a person lives a very noisy, busy life; he begins to understand the thoughts of his heart and mind. But at night, those same thoughts sometimes turn into feelings for him, and sometimes into frightening dreams.

Now you might be wondering: what is a feeling, and what is a fear? A feeling is when you say, “If I had done this, that would have happened,” or “If I do this, I'll do it this way.” And a frightening dream is when you think, “If I try to achieve these things and I fail, then what will happen to me?”
So friends, as you know, what happens when you do that?

He then starts talking to himself in the silence of the night. Thoughts of loneliness, confusion, and sorrow begin to surface, and he starts to undermine himself. Sometimes the dreams of a mad diet even give him clarity and self-assurance that he can do this work. …and you can do it, which builds confidence inside him and he starts to understand his true potential. You could say that the dreams that come at night take you in two ways: one, they trick you into negative thinking, and at the same time they help you… They say you can feel less.

And just like that, as you keep doing it, your whole night is spent lost in those dreams, thinking and thinking and thinking—the night just passes, and you can't even find an answer for yourself. You can't ignite any awareness fire, and for now you just kill time with thoughts, thinking maybe that was enough for me, because the night has already gone, and in it we see our reflection… It has surely shown us our reflection.
