It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.

Author: Charles Dickens

Insight: That jarring contradiction—feeling warm one second, chilled the next—mirrors how we experience emotional shifts throughout a single day. Your mood can swing wildly depending on which "shadow" you're standing in: good news at work doesn't erase a rough morning. Sometimes being uncomfortable isn't a sign something's wrong; it's just what transition feels like.
