What is the weirdest/strangest thing you find comfort in? - eviltoast

For me its opening the apple weather app and the map in it and watching the temperatures and wind patterns all around the world

The colours are beautiful in winters

    Complete utter silence and darkness … complete darkness

    I’m not saying it as a wish for death … it was my favourite way of going to sleep when I was a kid, just complete silent darkness for a few hours to get a good night sleep.

    I haven’t had it in years … wife sleeps with a nightlight and there is always a window to the street light, the hallway light or some light somewhere and its never quiet any more, some machine is running, highway noises or whatever.

    As a teen, I used to just board up my room at night, even place black out curtains at night time and seal up my doorway to block out the light in the hallway. I used to find comfort in being able to ‘see’ in the dark on my own. Don’t get me wrong, I’m afraid of the dark too and if I got caught in a strange new place in complete darkness, I’d probably freak out.

      I do not like pure darkness.

      I have mild synesthesia so I see patterns and colours when I hear noises and it’s louder in the dark. If I’m camping and there’s a sound of a stick breaking or a squirrel running by it will cause like flashes of bright colour and it keeps me awake.

      Current society are losing the sense of beauty of night. The streetlights, the screens, vehicle lights, constantly stare at us. And the sounds ofc.

      I remember my childhood in my grandpa’s village with such near complete silence in the dark nights, and I fall asleep anytime I recall that. Great to know I’m not the only to love them.
