Second Soliloquy

A journey into the mindscape...


Are You Afraid Of The Half-Dark?

Are you afraid of the half-dark? Okay, that doesn't make much sense...

You know the time of day when the sun starts to slip below the horizon? The time when you would say it's getting dark? That's what I mean by 'half-dark'. When I'm inside a room without any of the lights on and it's getting dark, I usually get this wierd feeling... I start to get a bit nervous, scared, or just plain depressed for no reason at all.

I think it has something to do with the time I associated the darkening environment with my outlook on life at the time. And at that time, I was feeling rather depressed. At that time, I felt like my life was going on a downward spiral. Imagine the sun setting, then threatening never to rise again. Now imagine thinking that at sunset.

The wierd thing is, I only get that feeling when I'm inside a room with the lights off and with a window where the last traces of daylight slip though. It never happens with the lights on, of if I'm actually outside watching the sunset or something.
