“It's not as if our lives are divided simply into light and dark. There's shadowy middle-ground.”
— Haruki Murakami

Simplified Meaning:
Life isn’t just about good times and bad times; there are lots of moments that fall in between. Think about a cloudy day where the sun peeks through occasionally—it's not completely bright, but it’s not totally dark either. Similarly, our experiences aren’t always easy to label as only happy or sad. For example, starting a new job can be exciting because of new opportunities but also scary because of new challenges. It’s important to recognize and accept these mixed feelings because they are a normal part of life. By doing so, we can better handle the ups and downs and appreciate the complex nature of our experiences.
