I'll admit it - I am 26 years old and still afraid of the dark. I'm not sure why - too many scary movies? Definitely a possibility. My imagination runs overtime and I hate being in the dark.......whether it's in my own house, someone else's house, driving in the car, camping, etc. There are times where I still run and jump on the bed! Seriously! And camping really wierds me out because you are out in the middle of the wilderness with wild, unpredictable animals. Having a gun makes me feel somewhat safer........though I know Eric's rifle would be no match for a bear. I somewhat got over the fear when I lived alone - I really had no choice! But now, when Eric isn't home at nights, like when he goes camping with the guys, my preference is to leave the bathroom light on and shut the door. I wonder if I'll ever get over this fear.
