when i was little (from as far back as i can remember actually) i couldnt sleep if my closet was open. not even a crack. it had to be all the way closed. I would make sure it was firmly closed. This persisted into my mid twenties. Now i am able to sleep if its open a crack. but i still dont like sleeping if its open any significant way so theres a darker black area visible in it in the dark. AND of course.. to close it, you have to turn the light on first. Approaching an open closet in the dark is just..not a comfortable thing to do. I tend to think i am not scared of the closet these days.. but hm.. i guess some small residue of that fear does remain. damn hollywood. its those movies. the boogyman and "they"
