38.

When I was a kid, I was afraid of the dark.

As most little ones are.

Truth be told, I was more afraid of what was in the darkness, than of the darkness itself.

I was scared that something scary would find its way in.

As I got older the darkness became my friend.

It made no sense to fear what was in the darkness around me,

When I had become what I had once feared.
