Sometimes when I stay up late doing something creative I end up getting this very comforting feeling about the future. A sort of certainty that everything will work out in the end and that ~~luck~~ happy coincidences will always be on my side. If I had this sort of confidence throughout the day, I would live a much more pleasant and relaxed life. Since it makes me forget about all the hurdles I am grappling with in life, it makes excited about the future once again (like I was in my early teens before all the new responsibilities started weighing on me), and makes me want to go out there and live life to the fullest.

Does anyone else experience this feeling as well? It's always gone by the morning but if I could internalize it it could be life changing. Do you have any idea how?

I'd say whether you feel happy, or sad, in the evenings, try write down how you feel and why you think you feel that way in a notebook. If you look back at it the next morning you can see why you were happy and maybe it may lift your spirits, or if you were sad you can re-affirm why it wasn't such a big deal (or just leave your sad thoughts away in there).
