Hang in there, young Rosey. We youtubers, on the other side of the camera, need you to keep us entertained and informed! Fight your fears with that torch!!
Little did our young rozeboosje know that lurking behind yonder tree trunk or hedge and stalking his every step, was that deadliest of all clouds: the many-fanged, man-eating mammatus!
No matter how much you realize a well made carnival haunted house is fake doesn't stop you from getting scared on some level. You are scared that they are trying to scare you.
I sometimes advise myself to concur that what fear I am experiencing is an anomaly of irrational thinking, so thus, to disable the illumination and face the fear, one can only conclude that my judgement was flawed and thus there is nothing to fear! So in essence, one can find the torch of ones confidence when reconciled with an environment no more different in the dark, than is in the light.
always interesting, good job, Your accent is unique and always gets my attention but some times i miss a word...Did you say at the end that you found a "bath"?
I'm reminded of the Carl Sagan metaphor of science as a Candle in the dark. I repeat it frequently and in different ways. We don't need to be fearful. We just have to protect the candle. (or the batteries, as the case may be)
Whilst the account is fictional, THAT part of the story is actually based on reality. One day on a summer camp I did manage to illuminate the clouds with my flashlight. I couldn't believe it.
Good one!

yeah, Christian fundies misunderstand the torch, they set it way past "enlightenment" up to "light saber" and starts weilding it screaming:
-obey Gods commandment!! ... or he'll have me slice you in two!!!

Better to light a candle (or a torch) than to curse the darkness.
Btw, mechanical torches ftw. Batteries have failed? Just power it up with your own strength. :-)

Thanks for this story. I think you have great way of telling stories.
The symbolism of light and darkness is a frequently used, but beautiful one.
I had the feeling this story reflected on the previous video about your depression.

Actually, no. Although a bit of understanding of one's condition can certainly help.

Shine,
People, let your light shine.
Maybe the answer is just this simple song.
Let everybody shine along,
To keep the world from going wrong.
Let your light shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine.
