Just more word vomit. By me.

Darkness. And more dark things. That go bump in the night, and then politely apologizes.

Lately,  I've grown accustomed to the dark.
I mean, not in a "Oh, look my soul is one with my demons", way.
It's more in a way on how I visualize the allegories or perception of darkness. 

Throughout literature, the use of the dark is used as a mechanism to create an eery ambience, or used to describe a sinister character. Of course, most of us associate this theme or entities with malice intent, whenever we turned out the lights.

For myself, this has been the case in the past. I used to be terrified of the dark. Sometimes my eyes would adjust and I would imagine faces within the black ocean greeting me with eye contact. This terrified me so much, I slept with a nightlight for quite a time. I believe this fear was developed when I was much younger. I guess whenever my cousin would dare me to sit in the bathroom, with lights switched off, and her holding the door so I wouldn't escape, affected me greatly.

Fairly recent, I've pondered this notion with darkness' connection with otherworldly evil. I think it's an unfair thought. What if the ghosts and monsters within the confines of the dark are actually just like you and I? Like-minded and full of life. Just another anomaly on this blue planet. Just minding their business in the corners of our rooms, and the abandon ware houses.

Frankly, I feel like people scare me more then any monsters in fairy tales. No matter the time of day. The reason being is that I'm a human being and know what other humans are capable of. That's some scary s**t.

So, I guess I'm growing fond of the dark and its inhabitants. I mean it might be scary at times, but it's also where you can discover breathtaking moments of the unknown.

 You see, once all the lights are diminished, and your shrouded in complete darkness. All you have to do is look up and see the night sky in its full and beautious glory.

Which is way better then a night light.
