It's very common to worry about struggles, fears, and dangers as a growing up child. Some children, while growing up, they were afraid of fires, high places or thunderstorms. As for me, when I was a child, I had this fear of the dark which is a common childhood fear. I saw myself being afraid of unfamiliar things that i can't understand nor control. Sometimes, i begin to imagined things, and it was very hard for me to distinguish between reality and fantasy. I almosrt believed means that monsters are real..😅 So, anytime I hear story relating to monsters or ghosts, I will hid under the bed or in the wardrobe waiting to spring once the light goes out.*
But guess what? I overcamed it..!! As i continued to grow, i understood that it's important to handle a fear of the dark with sympathy and understanding. I better understood that i shouldn't ridicule my feelings with folktales, I.e stories that isn't true. I overcome fear as a child by accepting real feelings and esponding to them sensitively. Overcoming fear and darkness as a child was a very hard nut to crack..!
Sometimes, I also feel afraid of my parents separating or dying, and this anxiety gets worse when am alone or in the dark. But as i grew up, i began to understand that there's no perfect marriage and every marriage has its own flaws. I also got to understand that death is inevitable and we don't need to worry about it, but only pray for long life.. Right now, my parents are like best friends ever living happily..😊 Therefore, I invite my special friends @chilucky @favouright @beckyroyal to share their thoughts too on this proppt..
I think the fear of the dark is a fear that almost all children have; I was one too, so I understand.
On the other hand, the fear of losing those we love, I think, is something that's been with us since we became aware of our surroundings, and that with time, we come to understand that it's a fact of life and that we should just enjoy it, love our special people, and pray a lot that God keeps them healthy and alive for as long as He decides. I really enjoyed reading your post, greetings!
Thank you so much for engaging😊
