      I was gonna say… It’s literally already on there. And you’re not afraid of running back you’re just…

      Eh…

      I guess sort of, but I think of it as being afraid of the darkness itself, or the things that might (or might not be) out there when it gets dark. Like they’re totally connected but still two separate fears, you know?

    It’s a race to the bed, as everybody knows monsters can’t invade your bed, that’s why so many of them live under it

    I…still cannot wrap my head around the fear of death. If you’re dead, that’s it, done, your warranty is void and all that. What to fear?

    I fear consequences of my death - shit people close to me will be put through. But death itself? It’s like fearing time. Shit’s just there, always was, always will be, touches all of us and nobody can do shit bout it.

      there’s a saying in spanish, it’s not the same to call the lion than seeing it coming.

      I’ll believe a stage 4 cancer survivor if they say that they don’t fear death, the rest, no so much.

        Fair…though funny you mention cancer. My partner went through that and brushed with death and she has pretty much the same approach as me.

      Unironically this is what got me to stop being afraid of the dark when I was 11. I just hyped myself up real hard, hit the lights, and intentionally slow-walked back to bed. Show no weakness.

    “Alexa, all lights off.”

    Now, talk to me about going up the stairs from the basement alone…

    Everyone knows that’s how the evil clown, ghost, or whatever basement demon living in your house gets you…

    Grabs your ankles ands pulls you right back down…

    Hasn’t been a problem since I sleep with a multifunctional flashlight by my bed.
