What Scares You?

What Scares You?

October 27, 2017 Off By Lisa

This week the Finish the Sentence Friday crew is talking about Halloween.

I have a love/hate relationship with Halloween. I certainly have fond memories of making costumes and enjoying trick-or-treat nights with my cousins. I even have a few favorite movies to watch at this time of year. And there’s nothing I love more than visit to the local pumpkin patch. What I don’t love – as is true for me with any holiday – is the over-commercialized, overdone hype that has taken the place of the original and true meaning of the day.

I know. Just hang a big “Bah Humbug” sign on me.

Halloween, or All Hallows Eve, has a long and rich history that has very little to do with candy, horror movies, and scary lawn displays. (The article in that link back there is very interesting – definitely give it a look.) Regardless of your feelings about Halloween, there is one topic that rears its creepy head at this time of year – fear. In homage to that subject, I’m sharing a piece I wrote that ran on Open Thought Vortex Magazine earlier this week about the fears we carry through life.

Please hop over and give it a read. And while you’re there, check out some of the other terrific pieces our writers have shared throughout the month of October as we explore our theme of Fear
