My daughter suddenly started to be afraid of the dark, and she didn’t know why when I asked her, probably because I played too many scary puzzles ” Sea Turtle Soup ” with my friends some time ago. In short, the result is that the house always has to be brightly lit at night, and even so, she needs someone to accompany her outside to talk to her when she goes to the bathroom. I frowned and wanted to start preaching, but suddenly remembered that I also had the experience of being extremely afraid of the dark more than 20 years ago. After the evening self-study class, I rode my bicycle home by myself, passing by a section of unfinished construction site, always speeding past with a cry. He screamed heart-piercingly, but he didn’t build up much courage, even the howl was trembling. If a poor person passed by at that time, he might be terrified. Thinking of this, I can’t help laughing. Is it the “inheritance” of the family, or is it that people are particularly afraid of the dark at this age?

At the age of sixteen, I feel that I am the center of the universe: even if there is only one monster in the world, it will follow me—this unique and extraordinary existence—by my side. Now that I am in my forties, I know how ordinary I am. Even if there are ghosts and ghosts in this world, they will not only come to me; maybe my soul is also dim. When I am alone, I even like to turn off all the lights, and I am especially willing to blend with the darkness.

Loosening my brows, I leaned against the door frame and continued to talk to my daughter. Let’s wait for her to figure out what’s there and what’s not. She doesn’t have to be like me after all.
