The Dark

Yes, it is the classic "I'm afraid of the dark" fear again! But its true, the darkness is quite scary. When you mix it with dead silence, it makes it that much worse. I love to go camping because of the nature and hiking, but the sleeping alone in the woods part gives me the HEEBIE-JEEBIES!! That is just one example. It is not scary when I am with my friends or people that I know, but being alone somewhere dark, especially at night is so frightening. I feel scared because I cannot see a thing in my path and, therefore, I would never have the slightest clue if somebody or something were in the room with me. I can think to myself that obviously nothing is in my room at night when I flip off the lamp because the windows and doors are locked, but I always have the slightest bit of paranoia in the back of my mind. If I am with others, I know that I would not alone with the stranger if there were one, but when I am alone with a potential harmful thing, I cannot handle it. Also, scary movie, whether by myself or with others are HORRIBLE! After I see one, that is what I think of when I am alone and in the dark. It intensified my fear by a million. I am about to turn out my light right now, but I don't really want to after writing that blog about this fear. Goodnight.
