How to retain my evening optimism? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Ich der Science-Fiction-Held - und ihr liegt mir zu Füßen!
MIR gehör'n die Sterne, ICH habe die Macht - ihr seid froh, in meinem Licht zu steh'n;
ICH bin es, der die Welt verlacht und ihr kommt alle um mich zu seh'n...

...und ihr kommt alle um MICH zu seh'n!
...und ihr kommt alle um mich zu sehen!

Nur Morgens fühl' ich mich unangenehm...
Ich hab' Angst, aus dem Haus zu geh'n...
Morgens bin ich klein und schwach...
Höllenqualen, ich liege flach...
Abends, da regier' ich das All - und ihr in meinem Schatten:
Ihr seht mein Tribunal - und ich werd' euch gestatten!
MIR gehör'n die Sterne, ICH habe die Macht - ihr seid froh, in meinem Licht zu steh'n!
ICH bin es, der die Welt verlacht und ihr kommt alle um mich zu seh'n...

...und ihr kommt alle um mich zu seh'n!
...und ihr kommt alle um MICH zu sehen!

Nur morgens, wenn der Zauber verfällt
Muss ich weinen, wenn mich ein Hund anbellt!
Morgens bin ich... klein und schwach...
Höllenqualen, ich liege flach...```
