4 - A Habit you Wish you Didn't Have

I have a lot of bad habits. Most of them are pretty common: biting my nails, chewing the inside of my cheek, etc.. However, if I could get rid of one of my habits, it would be to sleep with the TV on.

I have a ridiculous fear of ghosts. Well, not really ghosts, for that matter, but more accurately dead people coming to visit me. It's pretty stupid, I know, but I can't shake that fear. For the longest time, I wasn't really afraid of anyone coming to visit me because no one that close to me had actually died. My Grandparents on my mother's side and my father's aunt were probably the closest ones, however, I couldn't imagine them really having a reason to come see me. Then, last year when my friend Steph passed away, my fear became more real to me. I was terrified that he'd come say hi. It's ridiculous because if I did have the chance to speak to him again, I would probably or should probably be thrilled. But I know I'd just be scared. That's why, since that day, I've slept with the TV on. The light and the noise comforts me. The downfall to this is that I've become so accustomed to it that I find it extremely difficult too sleep anywhere else but my house, because I can't have the TV on. When I go to camp, or to a friend's, I sleep so horribly. For that reason, I'd love to be able to get rid of that habit.
