I used to be afraid at night, like things couldn't get me during the day. Now I live in the country far from any neighbors, I've got a scaredy-cat big dog that hides behind me, and I don't get scared any more, at least not of nothing. I'd be scared if some screwed up person with a weapon bashed in my door and really threatened me, but I don't conjure up things to frighten me anymore. I don't know when I stopped or why, it just happened. Must be the wisdom that comes with age.
