I love the thrill of facing some of the things that scare you the most. In my case, chainsaws and clowns are a whole lot of nope but this past weekend, some of my sisters and I went to face two of the most talked about haunted houses in Colorado: The 13th Floor and The Asylum.
In both of these haunted houses, I had to face my biggest fear with chainsaws. Naturally, I know what I get myself into each time I decide to step foot inside of a haunted house but somehow, I still find myself screaming and running in a full-on sprint once I reach the terrifying sound of a chainsaw.
Other than that, we had the time of our lives. Each haunted house had it's own smaller haunted house before the main attraction which my sisters and I so wonderfully dubbed, "The Warm Up."
From the time that we left The 13th Floor to the time we got to The Asylum, one of my sisters and her biological sister decided not to join us for the latter, leaving only three of us to conquer the final haunted house for the evening.
Two of us were (and probably still are) like small children; We were easily terrified but we manned up and we went first and second in our small group of three.
After all of the laughing, running, and screaming, I can easily say that my sisters help me face my fears. While I know that the clowns and chainsaws aren't real, they still terrify me. My sisters, as I say every week, are such a huge support and even though it's just something silly like going into a haunted house, they give me the courage to take these steps in my life.
I'm excited to say that in two weeks, we're going to visit The 13th Floor again for blackout night. Blackout Night is where you go with friends and the entire gets one glowstick. No other lights, just the glowstick, and from what I heard, the actors can take it away from you, leaving you in pure darkness. If this isn't facing a huge fear, than I'm not sure what is.
