How you overcame a fear
“What is there to be scared of?” is the question I raise when I try to overcome a fear. I was scared of the unknown, in the darkness until one day. That day, I had to walk alone for kilometers in the dark back home. It leaves me time to think about many things, about my memories and reality. I started to think about the day time when it is bright and at night when it is dark. I walk the same road, cross the same bridge, see the same building, see the same trees, then what is the difference? It is just the sun during daytime and the stars that appear during the night. There is music in my ears and my eyes are open, I am still aware of what is going on around me, but it is just the darkness that reduces my sight range and the clarity. I think again, why do I fear something that does not exist? I look around and there is nothing; therefore, I conclude, there is nothing that would make me fear.
I'm waiting for a time when I will stop being afraid of the dark. Actually, I'm not afraid all the time; there's always something that triggers it - like a creaking door or the howling wind. Then it's my imagination that begins to play and gets me scared. -_-
