So it's been getting dark fairly soon... and since the time change it's pretty crazy because it was 'dark' at 3:15pm today! Around 3:45ish my work building was closed due to water and sewage issues.. so I walked home... and then took the photo below! (Now it had a fairly long shutter speed--so it makes it look a bit lighter--but was taken at 4:05pm...)
I've always had a bit of a fear of the dark...but the fear is more of 'moving in the darkness'one of my really good friends Sage coined this brillant phrase! So let me explain...I hate turning off lights and then walking in the dark--I have since forever! My mum use to get mad at me in high school because I'd leave lights on when I went to bed! Sage and I shared a apartment for a year while I was working on a post-grad program! I always made sure I was in bed before her--so she'd have to turn off the light and stumble in the dark to bed...but one night.. she beat me too it.. and then made fun of me complaining and being a scardey cat about it! I picked up this funny kids 'little tyke' flashlight... it was a Hippo...(which when it was on it laughed this stupid laugh)... But saved me from my fear of 'moving in the darkness'....
Why did I share this little tidbit of information? I'm not sure... but now that the darkness is happening earlier... I thinkI should invest in a flashlight--because I don't have one, my trusty hippo went into storage! But also it has made me wonder why I choose to live in a place that soon will have 24hr darkness!
