i drew you a picture, it's pretty if you squint

please don't make me watch the scary scenes in films; no matter how much i promise i won't get scared... i'm lying.

i hate that i'm so afraid of even fiction. being scared of the dark should be enough for one sixteen-year-old to have to deal with, let alone the fact that i'm terrified of bugs, can't stand heights, and jumps at the scary parts in movies.

please spare yourself, and me, just pick a comedy.

close your eyes and make it go away

it's really embarrassing to say, but i'm scared of the dark. it's not so much the shadows and the mystery that frighten me, but the fact that anyone could be out there. i know it sounds stupid and paranoid, but it's a terrifying thought that i can never seem to shake, no matter how hard i try.

i've been told that i'm just "seeking attention" but it's more than that. i'm genuinely scared of what's out there. monsters may only be in storybooks, but it doesn't make them stop seeming real to me.
