Living in central Europe may have some positive and negative things. Due to cognitive bias, negative biases have more impact on my life.

I like rainy days. It is raining right now. As I live in a roof apartment, I can hear it on my roof windows. It is calming, like white noise.

Starting with the autumn solstice, days are shorter every day. I particularly love that period of the year. Short days, dark streets after 4 PM. Great for my hobbies; reading, listening to music, and solving math problems.

Primarily for music, we all have connected our senses to the same neural center, and light disturbs the central system. How am I supposed to listen to music during the summer when you have long days and
dark after 10 PM?

Simple. I stay awake until 1 AM, but there is a catch. My days start around 5 AM. Physically I am often tired.

The same problem is with reading, with many distractions during the day.

Summer is different. Sun rises very early, so, at 5 AM, you have almost average daylight.

But habits and hobbies are still here. I must adapt every single time and reschedule whole days to function normally. It is hot, often around forty degrees Celsius. It is humid. It could be better, but I have what I have. I wear long-sleeved shirts, ties, and summer suits.

My family lives close, and bonding is high, so I cannot leave. I don’t want to leave. I got what I got.

Someone could tell it is because of conformism, but it is not.

I love my daughter; I love my parents; I love my sister.

And I really enjoy listening to music while I can hear the rain on my roof windows.
