Night Light

Growing up I never once had my own room till I was around 12. I either slept in my parents room or I shared one with my sister. So I never knew what it was like to be alone. When my sister graduated high school and moved out, I finally got my own room. I was so excited, yet so scared to be alone. For 12 years I never once had slept in a room all by myself. I found myself needing a "Night Light" for comfort. To not feel alone and to be aware of my suroundings. As the years went by I upgraded from the "Night Light" to the TV and eventually my IPOD. I always felt the need to have an ambient noise in the background to help me sleep. In a way I guess it fooled my brain to thinking someone was around or I wasn't alone. Just recently, 15 years later, I find myself finally able to sleep without a "Night Light" or any type of noise in the background. My mind doesn't wander and I am content with being alone. I finally realized that no matter what I do, friends and family will always be there. I will always be LOVED. Here today or Gone tomorrow. The LOVE will always be there. Live in the now and look forward to what the future has to offer. Alone or not, LOVE how you want to be LOVED. Good Night.
