in the cold light of day: o que isso significa?

Imagine you get into this huge fight with your friend over a silly thing. You can't imagine the things you said to her and how much you overreacted to the things you head she had done. The next morning, in the cold light of day, when you're thinking more clearly, you realize how much of a drama queen you were. You shouldn't have said all those things because of that. You should have been patient and asked her what were the reasons that made her do such a thing to you. Afterall, it wasn't even that much of a big deal.

In the cold light of day is something you say when you're capable of thinking about things in a more relaxed and clear way. Usually, after you've done something too extreme, like getting into an argumento and making a terrible decision. That happens all the time. Without the emotions you feel in the heat of the moment, you tend to feel sorry and ashamed about it. Maybe you were ashamed of all the things you said to your friend. She didn't deserve to hear all those things. Talk to you next time!
