One day, I was left at home alone. I had the most fearful experience of my life. But after all the challenges, I overcame my fear. It happened last year, during the rainy season. I had the fear of darkness. Even if it is bright, if I have something fearful in mind, I will be afraid of it. In the evening, it was around 7.00 pm. My mother went out to the shop with my sister, to buy something. My father did not return home from the office. I was alone at home doing my homework. After some time, I completed it and I started to watch TV. It was raining outside and I was afraid that the power would be cut. I was so afraid of being alone. Suddenly, I heard my phone ringing. It was my mother. She said that she will come after the rainfall has reduced. I was afraid and all the ghost scenes I have seen in movies came into my mind. But to overcome them I was distracting myself. I switched on all the lights in all the rooms. Even then I had fear in my mind. So, I called my cousin and started to speak to her, I was partially distracted. Then after speaking to my father, I was completely distracted and I forgot about it completely. Then I understood that if we face the fear we can overcome it easily, but if we try to run away from it, it will chase us throughout our life.

I had an experience of overcoming a fear. When I was a small girl I was scared of ghosts. I would not even go to the next room without a company. I was a coward. If I watch horror movies, I was not able to sleep peacefully for months. This small fear developed to its greatest extent. I was afraid to go inside dark rooms. I was even afraid to walk peacefully and happily in my own house. This also developed into an optical illusion. I started seeing things. Wherever I saw I glimpsed only ghostly things. That day came, when my mother and sister sat beside me and put their hands on my shoulders, and we had an open talk. I discussed my difficulties with my mother and she started developing confidence in me. The fog in my glasses was wiped away. I started seeing things clearly. My mom removed the fear of mine which was there in the bottom of my heart. And now I’m no more afraid of anyone and anything.
