  • Only if you're a chick.

    I'm a guy, I love the dark, I embrace it. It empowers me.

  • I think it's perfectly normal. People are scared if different things, and just because they are does nit make them childish. I have a weird fear of cracks in the side walk, and I don't know why, I just do. So YOU ARE NORMAL

  • It's natural to be scared of the dark, it's instinct but it's not a fear of the dark, it's fear that you don't know what's inside the dark. So if anyone says oh my god that's babyish, it's not, it's a natural instinct.
