Immediately i saw this prompt i was stunned, like this particular topic brought back memories of the little me🤣🤣.
Ok this is a picture of me when i was very little, and back than we had alot of things that scared crips out of us, ranking from story's told to us by our parents, rumors of how kids just disappeared out of no where during Christmas seasons and alot of them.
And i was really one of the first people that will always bring up the topic, I'll also be the First person who will refuse to go outside to pee to avoid being snatched or taken by those things we saw or heard about.
I just remembered one day after listening to one of the scariest stories my mom told us during night times, i couldn't even get myself out of bed to pee, the more i looked at the door leading to the bathroom, the more scarier it was to me, and i ended up peeing my pants and screaming at the top of my voice, which didn't only wake up my parents buh also our neighbors.
I was so afraid of the dark that i won't let my mom off the light in our room before sleeping, hahahahaha and cause of cost of light, my mom will often off the light when am at sleep, when i wake up in the middle of the night and i don't see any light at, I'll almost have a heart attack 🤣🤣
Now if i could go back there with what i knew now, i won't flinch at the dark at all, i won't pee on myself again out of fear 🤣🤣 and i won't wake up shouting since i know there's nothing in the dark.
If i could have one fine talk with my little self, I'll tell her all the beautys that lies in the dark, how enjoyable it is to step outside the house and just enjoy the fresh air in the middle of the night, how comforting it is to stay alone in the dark, just u and ur imagination, the peaceful atmosphere, no noise just peace and quietness.
Now the dark/midnight is my most treasured, most times i will wish there was never day times, buh everything was created for a reason thou,
Finally am just very grateful i snapped out of the fear of darkness and midnights, now am a very great fan of this 2 (darkness/midnight) and am no longer afraid of the those stories and again.
The picture is original 💕

We share the same experience about peeing on our pants because I too was afraid of waking up at midnight. Midnight and the dark have been the greatest villain in our early years. But I am glad we both learned how peaceful and safe those things are. It is calm, free, and authentic to be in the dark. No one is watching. I hope you healed that part in your childhood who was afraid of darkness. She must be on her blanket now waiting for someone to get her to pee.❤️
