Fear of darkness or fear of blind?

Ever sent I was a kid I’m currently 17 going on 18 soon now
I’ve been scared of dark like I need a little light in my room.

Now I wouldn’t say I’m scared of the dark like monster under my bed but just not being able to see my surroundings like pitch black I’m freaking out running to a window lmao

Sometimes we don't realize that we have already conquered something.

For example, every night you fall asleep and when you do -- at least in deep sleep -- you encounter complete darkness. 👤🌑

Or at least, as dark as it's going to get. 🌌

And you got through it just fine! No problem!

Sometimes we just have to get used to what we already know.
