Monsters

Quotepic Wyatt Cenac on monsters set on chaotic artistic graffiti

Wyatt Cenac

Monsters aren't as scary if you start shining lights on them.

A thought:

This is certainly true, and it doesn't get all that much easier for us when we get to be adults, either. Our fears change, and become even more insubstantial, but maybe more threatening. The paradox is that the more we try to outrun and escape them, the bigger those monsterous fears grow. When we stop and shine some light and face them, they shrink, sometimes down to nothing, but almost always more manageable.
