in honor of Blogstreams 1st Birthday I went back into the tomb archives and dug up my first ever blog post and here it is.. thank you Pioneer for the wonderful gift that you have shared with us all for the past twelve glorious months..
After Dark.
I have a friend who recently told me, that his girlfried of six months had recently broken up with him, all because he had refused to to turn off the lights when they went to bed at night. He later confessed to me, that he had been affraid of the dark since his early childhood, and had never fully gotten over it. I remember him asking me if I thought he was a coward, I of course told him no. The truth is, that everyone has something living in the back of their minds that frightens them, some admit to it, others trick themselves into believing that they have everything in their lives under complete control, when in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Control is the illusion that people like to cling to, whenever something creeps into their life that makes them feel uncomfortable. We as adults, don't like to admit that we are affraid of anything, but we are, we just don't like talking about it, because when we do,it makes us realize how vulnerable we truly are. When you were a kid, you were more than likely led to believe, that if you stayed outside past your curfew, something really bad was going to get you, and if you were dumb enough to believe their bullshit, you could have ( and some of us did ) later in life develop some pretty serious phobias to deal with. So, now your an adult, you've got the money, the cars and the million dollar mansion, and everything that goes with it, your successful, you have all of your ducks in a row, life is good. And then you get brave, you're out late at night, the car doesn't start, and your fancy ass three hundred dollar cell phone done took a shit, and now you're stranded, and its time to walk home. So you find yourself alone, walking down a cold dark empty street, and you could have sworn you heard footsteps coming up behind you, and then, when you turn around, all that you see is the broken street lamp and an empty sidewalk, its so cold and quiet that you can see the breath coming out of your mouth, you freeze, especially after you feel that icy cold chill shoot up your spine, but it isn't untill you feel the hairs on the back of your neck rise, that you realize, your still affraid of something, and all of your success, money and power can't protect you from it. But it's okay, you cope, and you deal with your demons,life goes on. Because being affraid of anything, doesn't necessarily make you a coward, but it does make you human. FIN.
