I resonated :) I used to think it was such a hoot, this holiday, and while I still love dressing up, I've become a lot more mindful and aware of the implications of Halloween. I guess it's something that cements with age, because as kids, though afraid, we don't really understand that fear. Life, with its difficulties, makes you go "aha, so that's why I was terrified when I was 6".

Thank you for this reflection :)
