My Thoughts About : The Dark

Some people are afraid of the dark. But they're just wrong.

They're not really afraid of the dark. They're afraid of what happens IN the dark.

Think about it. Being in a dark room isn't really that scary. What's scary is that, the things that our minds can come up with.

We tend to think of scary figures creeping up towards us. Our stuffed toys in our beds turning into wild, cannibalistic looking creatures.

Wait. That didn't happen to you?

Anyways. The mysterious object moving under your bed is just a figment of your imagination. Or your pet. Which you might not have.

We are often scared of the dark because our imagination is too wild. And we should be thankful for that.

As I have observed in myself, when I'm still hyper and I'm told to go to bed, I can't close my eyes or even go to sleep at all. My imagination then can't help but explore the darkness.

Dark shadows appear out of nowhere. Bright car headlights pass by my windows like, every 5 damn minutes surprising the hell out of me. I hear whispers and creepy noises.

I end up staying up all night staring at a certain spot in the ceiling not intending to close or move my eyes away from it.

But when I encountered a very rough, tiring day, I don't really care about the darkness anymore. All I care about at that moment is getting a nice, well-awaited sleep. I don't care if that scary looking stuffed dolphin on my bed stare deep into my soul.

I. Just. Want. My. Rest.

There are some 'resolutions' that I do and use to get a good night sleep.

Before I go to sleep, to get rid of the whispers and the creepy noises, I turn on my radio and just listen to the soft music of the night. Of course, radio stations WOULD NOT and SHOULD NOT play rock, metal music at night. That would be disturbing and cruel.

If ever I'm not in the mood for the songs that they're playing, I just plug in my headphones and play the songs on my playlist.

Getting rid of the visual images is simple.

I'll close my eyes and just enjoy the soft music.

How about you? Do you have any troubles with the dark?

Don't be afraid. Just think of the brighter side. In the dark. (?)

Set free your imagination. If you're lucky, you can feature that scary shadow in the corner of your room in a drawing and make into the next 'Slenderman'. Or maybe create a story here on Wattpad featuring that 'thing' under your bed and maybe make it as the nightmare of the year.

Lolwut?

My point is, let your imagination run wild. But don't let it go too far. The dark side might not appreciate you revealing their creations.

I might be from the dark side.

But you don't know that.

Ha. Haha. Mwahahaha! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem.
