Right since my baby days I have had this weird fear of being alone in the dark. I'm ashmed to say this, but I just cannot sleep alone in a room (unless there is someone in the very next room and within hearing distance)
I'm terrified, mortified, scared out of my wits at the very thought. I feel as though the moment i close my eyes, someone (i don kno who or what) is going to stare at me and is eventually going to come up right close to my face. (Aaaaahhhhh!!!!) It is such a horrible thought and i hate having it. I'm so scared to even close my eyes. I have no problems walking or sitting in the dark, all alone. It's sleeping i have a biiiig problem with.
However, over the weekend, I can say I have grown an ounce braver. That's becoz my sister (we share a room) had gone out of station with my mom for 3 days. So i spent 3 nights alone. Well, actually, the first night I tried really hard to sleep and at around 2 a.m. I crept into my parents room and went to sleep beside my papa.
The next night I was really determined to sleep alone. And I did!!! No scary face or anything! And i slept alone the night after that as well. It was a little difficult, but what the heck. What I did was this: I sang myself to sleep. And guess which songs did I sing? Songs from Govinda's films ! Hahahaha
