Greetings lovely friends of #midnightowl. Its my pleaure to be here again and I welcome you all to my blog.
When I was much younger am always afraid of the dark. I think it was because of all those horror movies and cartoons i watch when i was a kid that we would watch every night that took place in the dark. After watching the horror movie the memories and actions of the movie will be playing in my head, which makes me to be scared and afraid in the dark all through for days.
I remembered one of those nights after watching the movies, time for me sleep and i became scared and unable to sleep. In my imagination it will be as ifam seeing some shadows in the dark, cracks of doors and sound in the in the dark as if some spirits walked in. Wondering what could be hiding in the shadows.That made every night, before i go to sleep, I must turn on a light bulb or candle light, when there is no light to keep my fears away. There was a time I peeled on my body, i was scared to use restroom because of darkness and fear.
This continues for years, to the extent i have to stop watching horror movies but now I can stay in the dark without fear. It all started in a day i just decided to face my fear for once so I entered my room and without a pause, I turned off the little light, sat on my bed and closed my eyes tightly. I began to imagine being in a warm and fun playground, filled with little children's laughter and with this chase away the fears. After closing my egg for a long time I opened my eyes to find myself back in a quiet, dark, lonely room. On second thought it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be; it was still creepy but I could l get use to it. Now now I am no longer afraid of the dark, I am brave.
Hi younger self, i have a message for you to tell you about midnight, i want to tell you that midnight its a magical time and it's not bad to feel scared, but don't let the fear hold you back. Darkness is not something to afraid of rather its like a blanket that wraps up the possibilities.
When you are scared of the dark take a deep breath and listen to the silence. Be kind to yourself, be strong, brave and be resilientWhen the sunset is down don't be scared, you rather explore the midnight, with courage have fun and enjoy it to the fullest knowing that you are safe and love.
