i know how you feel, stargazer, i HATE the dark as well. Darkness is often the epitomy of all our fears. Darkness represents so much, its is a void in which nothing can be seen, therefore, we are out of control of what happens within it. The dark is a great unknown. It is not a suprise that so many people are fearful of it. i wish you well in overcoming the darkness, both literally and metaphorically.
