It lives in my head rent free

Hello, gentlemen and ladies of hive.
I know individuals preferences differ and definitely some people enjoy watching horror movies. If I am to watch or download a movie and I go through the description and it says horror, even if it's not totally horror but it carries just a tiny bit horror in it, hmm, I run. The reason I avoid horror movies is that, the horrific images and acts just live in my head rent free. I do not know if this happens to anyone else or just me.

When I was little, I get scared of watching horror movies. The funniest part is, if my siblings realise that I am terrified by a particular act or scene on TV, they troll me with it. I am the last born of the family and you know we get ordered around a lot. So, anytime I am being told to do something or run an errand by my elder siblings, and I am tired or does not want to go for the erand, of course, I will refuse. But when my siblings want to get their way forcefully, they'll remind of a terrifying act or scenario from an horror movie. They'll then add that, if I don't do what I am told to do or run the errand, that terrifying act might appear to me in the night. Hilarious right? . On hearing this, I quickly, fearfully and angrily do what I am told to do.

As I grew older, my thoughts were that, horror movies or scenes can no longer bother me. So I decided to try out one. I can't really remember what the title was. I decided to sit down, got a pop corn to enjoy the movie. From the first scene, it was indeed, horrifying, I was forming hard guy and continued the movie. It got to a stage, nobody told me to stop watching before I did. So I stopped. Watching the movie was the first torment, then the images and scenes of the movie living in my head and making me scared was another thing. Those scenes would be what will dominate my mind the whole day. I live in Nigeria, so to worsen the case for me, there would be power outage. I am sure Nigerians can relate to the frequent power outages. I will curse the the power staffs so much, and in my mind, I'll be like why today of all days.
Its so surprising and hilarious when I think about it that I still get terrified of scary images or scenes even after I have seen the movie, made me wonder if it is normal. Well, I do not know tho.

While staying awake in bed due to fact that I couldn't sleep because of whatever image I have in my head, I try to convince myself that, these things are not real and that they are just mere acts put together by people to entertain their audience. I think about this all the time to make me relax and let it out of my head but it's quite a shame that it doesn't work.
The best thing for me is just to stay away from it to save myself from a lot of stress, because there are lots of beautiful things I want to put my mind on to allow horrifying memories from a movie occupy and mess up my mind.
So when it comes to movie preferences, I love romantic comedies also known as Romcom and I also enjoy Drama and Action. Those make me relax and does not defeat the reason for seeing movies.

Hope you enjoyed reading.
