Just... thoughts

When we're little, nighttime is scary because there are monsters hiding right under the bed, but when we get older, the monsters are different: e.g. loneliness, failure, regret, etc., and thow we are maybe older and wiser but we're still afraid of the dark...
But as we face our demons we face our fears in turn to each other for help, nighttime isn't so scary because...

we realize we are all alone in the dark.
