Journal 66: Something Unexpected

        In movies, characters usually react quickly to the supernatural events. They are always welling to face the supernatural ‘stuff’ and almost always, some how, wins or solve the problem. This does not happen in real life, most people are shocked, or petrified, when they face supernatural events. They are unable to react to the situation even after recovering from the shock. The decision that they made to deal with the situation are mostly silly, such as running away, use the nearest thing to attack it (in their heart they know it is not going to work). Most importantly, the problem is not always solved and we don’t always win.

      When I face any kind of similar situation that I feel like I am facing this form of unusual event. I refuse to face it and run on my bed if I were at home, or run to the nearest safe place.

      I HATE ghost stories because I do believe in ghosts so I can’t tell myself that it is unreal after hearing the story because to me it is real. So I get scared and think everything around me is trying to attack me or I get really scared of dark and I will go to bathroom 10 times before I get on bed to make sure I don’t have to go in the middle of night. Therefore I have decided long ago that I am not going to scare myself with those kind of stories. I don’t face anything bizarre after making this decision. I think I is because most of times when I get scared, nothing actually happened and I was just apply my fear to explainable situation.
