Night vs. Light


I have known people who were afraid of the dark. They worry about what lurks in the shadows. Afraid what will come out and attack them.  When the truth purposed by others is that nothing is there is nothing in the dark that isn’t there in the light. The day light and sunshine are supposed to be great for one’s mental health and to stave off depression. That is my problem however.

I have no problem with the night I find it comforting. What I hate is the light. Why do I hate the daylight? I don’t know maybe there is more wrong with me then I thought or know.  But in essence I hate the way it exposes everything. There is no place to hide in the light. Not only can you see everything and everyone but they can see you.

There is no chance of anonymity in the daylight. I have a friend who told me that I was well recognized by a lot of people even out of my certain circles and I had a reputation. While he was basically nobody with no reputation. No one outside of his small circle of friends really talked about him. He wasn’t complaining though just stating what he perceives to be the truth. I would like to point out that he does appear quite frequently in a friend of ours blog. To at least a few of us he is the greatest person in the world at the times where we are at our worst. 

While he was not complaining I am. I want the ability to be anonymous. But it seems like I am not able to around this town. The night offers more protection. At least the night helps to cover the tears and the sadness. So I say screw the light and the reputations.
