32.Are you afraid of the dark? Why or why not?

I am.
To an extend I guess.
If I'm not alone, it can be dark.
If I love and trust you I prefer it to be pitch black but light doesn't bother me.
If I am alone, so different.
I have to be able to see every inch of the room.
I've slept with my overhead light on on more than one occasion.
I have a night light.
I sleep with me TV on.
I am terrified of the dark.
M sister has been sleeping in the next room lately, so I've been falling asleep to a movie and the TV turns off.
Not sure why it turns itself off but every TV has turned itself off if I fall asleep.
Anyway, her being close has helped me get used to being kind of alone with lights off.
I was afraid of the dark when I was little but grew out of it for so long.
It came back the night Jeni and I went to see the Blair Witch project.
Yep, I was that chick, the one that saw Blair Witch as soon as I could.
And it scared me.
Bad.
It was cheesy as everyone says, I know that.
It was an awful movie, I know that too,
They were bad actors, yes.
(I get all of this when I saw it scared me to anyone.)
If you watch it through the eyes of an actual person going through it as if it were a true story, it's scary.
Imagine yourself as one of the people in that tent, really hearing all of the noises.
Go into that house at the end and not be able to find your friend, knowing the stories of the area.
This is how I watch all movies,
This is why scary movies, haunt me.
I live them, as I watch them.
It's more fun than being cynical about everything.
Tearing it apart, hating most things you see.
Movies can take you back to a time when you had no fear, everything was fun and you used your imagination.
If you can't imagine along with a movie, what is the point of watching it.
Where is the fun?
Yeah I'm scared of the dark maybe one day I won't be.
