old tendancies

as a child my mom would ask me to go to the garage to get her various items from the deep freeze. to get there i would have to walk through the backyard. many times this was at night. i used to get this anxious feeling and i believed that there were spirits or creatures of some kind that were going to reach out and grab my ankles as i walked through the dark.

it's funny how i still get those feelings as a 20 year old who doesn't frighten easily. i guess being home places you back in your old frame of mind. even with the little things like this.
