Which do you prefer: sunrise or sunset?


Hi beautiful people :-)
 
I’m so glad you all liked the writing prompts idea and I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone’s answers! I’m excited to read all the answers to this weeks question. 

Which do you prefer: sunrise or sunset?

I know a lot of people love sunsets and I do think they’re beautiful but I love sunrises. Sunsets used to depress me as a child because it would mean the end of the day and the looming unpleasantness of having to go to bed. I didn’t like going to bed when I was little, I thought sleep was so useless and I didn’t like the dark that came with nighttime. 

None of that is true for me anymore (I love sleep!) and I do appreciate a beautiful sunset but I still definitely prefer the view when the sun is rising and bringing a fresh new day with it. There’s something about seeing the sun rise and slowly bring light to the world that’s just beautiful and moves me in a way that I can’t quite describe. I live in a city with houses and buildings that obstruct the view and I sleep late so I don’t often see the sunrise but it’s always a treat when I do. :-)

Which one do you prefer? Sunrise or sunset? Or both?!

  3. Hey sis, sunrise girl here, too. And I HATED sleeping as a child also! It just thoroughly freaked me out, I often had weird dreams, stomach aches, anxiety, etc. So sunrise was and is always a welcome sight. ;-) Although where I'll be heading, sunsets literally stop you in your tracks. People who have lived on the islands all their life still stop to watch and appreciate the sunset. I haven't caught a sunrise there yet but I'm sure they're just as arresting.

    1. Oh gosh they're probably ten times better than anywhere else, will you have a place with a view?! Have you started looking?!

  4. This is a tough question, I love them both for different reasons. I like sunsets because they're so romantic and magical, but I also like the positive energy that comes with watching the sun rise.

    1. haha you and me both, I'd love to wake up earlier but when you're sleepy, you don't care about sunsets and sunrises I guess lol

  6. I really love both. I am more of a night owl so sunsets while being amazingly beautiful are followed by the dark, quiet and stillness that I love. But on the extremely rare occasions that I see a sunrise I'm struck by the beauty of that also. It also has an awesome stillness to it but with the expectations of what the day will bring.

    1. Oh I'm with you on the night part, I used to be afraid of nighttime but now I find the quiet that comes with it to be almost peaceful. This is weird but I really like staying up at night (schedule permitting) and then going to bed just after the sun rises. It messes with your sleep cycle but it's quite fun getting to enjoy both the night and the sunrise without having to wake up early =D

  8. I love sunrise because it means beginning and there are so many possibilities in the day - good or bad. I look forward to sunrise because I know I have a new day ahead and I have another day to achieve my dreams and goals. Can't wait for the next one! :)

  13. If I had to choose, it would be sunrise, because the day feels like off to a fresh start and most of the time barely anyone else is awake. Both both are very pretty.

  14. I love sunsets, and truth be told I don't see the sunrise very often because I'm not, at all, a morning person *grins*. But all things considered I think sunrise is usually even more beautiful than sunset.

  15. Both are my favorite but I prefer sunsets simply because I don't have to get up bright and early to see them!!!
