"Orion and the Dark" is about a little boy who is afraid of almost everything. He fears the dark, clowns, cell phone waves causing cancer, monsters, haircuts, mosquito bites getting infected, falling off a skyscraper, saying good morning and sounding like Goob dorning!, bees, dogs, and the ocean. He is anxious about being responsible for his team losing and terrified of locker rooms and Richie Panic, who calls him crying Orion. Richie bullies him, taking his art book and turning to a page where he has written all the things he fears, including Richie's name. Just before Richie walks away after bullying him, Orion says thank you to Richie.
He doesn't know why he did that but is quite disappointed in himself for not being able to stand up for himself.
The school had to visit the planetarium, but Richie didn't give his parents his permission slip. He fears being packed inside the school bus alongside his classmates. He is scared the bus might crash, and if they make it to the planetarium, the giant models of the solar system hanging from the ceiling might fall on him.
He really likes Lisa but can't walk up to her. He is afraid that if he goes to the planetarium, sits next to her, and their hands touch, he will have a panic attack and become a running joke around the school. So, he hides his permission slip from his parents. When his teacher asks him, he says his parents won't let him go to the planetarium and that they don't believe in space, but it's all lies.
He is also afraid of coming back home and finding his parents have sold their house and moved while he was at school. His fear is stopping him from doing a lot of things.
His dad finds the permission slip under the couch but he tells his parents he doesn't want to go. That night, his mom checks on him before bedtime. When she finishes, she turns off the light. He jumps from the bed and asks her to read him a bedtime story, but she doesn't have time, so he asks her to leave the door open so that light can come in, which she does.
When she leaves, he inserts different socket lights that blow off due to high voltage, and he panics. Of all the things he is afraid of, he is most afraid of the dark. He covers himself and turns on the flashlight, but it isn't working well. Soon, he starts screaming, "Darkness, why can't you leave me alone?" and darkness visits him.
Dark tells him millions of kids are afraid of him, but he is harmless. Dark doesn't like the way humans think about him. He says everyone is against him. He tells Orion that he is just a regular guy trying to do his job. He says people hate him, but he is just trying to do his job. He wishes people would give him a chance.
Orion feels bad for Dark and starts speaking with him. He tells Dark the list of people who bullied him. Dark wants to help him stop his fears and brings up an idea that will help him appreciate the beauty of the night instead of being terrified all the time. Initially, Orion refuses, but after giving it thought and remembering how he was bullied, he accepts, and Mr. Dark takes Orion for a night ride in the air.
They meet the night entities, and this is when the story becomes even more interesting. One thing is evident: Mr. Dark also has his insecurities, which he has to overcome.
This animation will give you a different way to view things if you fear the dark a lot but the story is a bit confusing.

Boohoo Date Night Outfit Wishlist: Dress to Impress
Home décor is super exciting, yet you get confused along the line, especially if you are decorating your home without an interior decorator. At the end of the day, it all depends on you. Which design of chandelier do you like? How do you want your living room to look? You cannot go wrong with these suggestions. This is an old post I republished.
There has been a new twist to interior design, and décor items have evolved with the production of new designs.
Are you still confused about what to wear on Valentine's Day? I know that can feel frustrating sometimes, especially if you are planning on meeting your date for the first time, just starting a fresh relationship, trying to rekindle your love, or being invited to a Valentine's Day party. The urge to impress can be overwhelming, coupled with not wanting to be overly dressed. We can all relate to that feeling, but, as you know, ladies, we got each other back.
All in all, never step out of your budget; you can still look good by putting together what you have. All you need to do is go through these different outfit ideas for Valentine's Day. A dress is always a go-to, but here are other outfit ideas that are perfect to wear on Valentine's Day.
Wear that snake-print dress.
Do you have a snake-print dress sitting pretty in your closet? Well, it is time to bring it out and wear that dress. It is the perfect dress for Valentine. Are you going for a dangerous and poisonous look? That's the way to go. Add a red lipstick and a black heel.
I got this dress from The Lebel, but here is an alternative.
Oversized tees can still do the magic.
You appear confident and cool, and I don't care. Go for an oversized tee with thigh-high boots. Man, the feeling is mutual. You don't care, and I don't care. This look is a vibe.
I got this oversized tee from Pull and Bear and the thigh boots from Amiclubwear. Shop for the perfect alternative.
Denim is still the main chick.
Denim never goes out of style, and if you just want to give the less is more look with no stress, wear a denim dress.
This denim shirt dress used to be one of my favorites from Sammy Dress. Here is an alternative.
Mix and match that print.
Who made the rules about wearing only red on Valentine's Day? Well, tell them I said we could mix and match prints and still look cute.
The off-shoulder dress, which I styled as a top, is from Sammy Dress, and the skort is from Zaful.
Pink is still a cutie.
You can Barbie anytime and whenever you want. Wear that pink dress; you can add a bit of drama, like my ruffle sleeve. Be the main character.
I got this dress from Bellizimos, but here is an alternative.
Give them hot, hot red.
It doesn't have to be a red dress; it can be red. Red crop top and trouser co-ord set. Pepper them, gang. Alexa play red by Tylor Swift.
I got this co-ord set from Rebellious Fashion, but here is an alternative.
A cute, simple yellow dress
Yellow is sometimes underrated. Look how it complimented my skin! I was radiating beauty. Wear that cute little yellow dress. Go for that radiant but glowing look. Add a pair of black heels, but don't forget that a red heel also goes so well with a yellow dress.
I got this dress from VIP Shop, but here are other alternatives.
Party girl, their vibe
Wanna party all night long and be the absolute pretty diva? Go for a strapless corset bodycon mini dress.

Bring out that little princess tulle.
Every lady deserves the good things of life. She is her daddy's little princess, and you cannot take that away from her. Tulle adds instant cuteness to any loaf. It is the perfect look for Valentine.
I got this tulle skirt from Shein; you can check out this alternative.
Decent but aware
The decent but aware is my go-to look. If you want to keep it minimal, simple, and classy, then go for a plain chiffon flare dress. Let that dress be below your knees, but let that attitude be high above the earth.
I got this dress from Metisuboutique but here is an alternative.
Be the spice in a rustic jumpsuit.
The rustic look is still that look. If you want to be the spice of the day, then wear a rust outfit. It does not matter if the shade is burnt orange, rust, tumeric, or teraccota. girl wears that rustic dress or jumpsuit. Make sure you serve that look. Shake the table.

It’s been a while since I shared a style post. I have shared more health content this year, but it's time to get back on the grind.
Saturday was a bit tight with chores at home, but after much was done, I had my meals during the day and couldn’t sleep early at night, even though I was tired. There was a 10-minute repair that needed to be done, and it was scheduled for Sunday morning. The repair was done, and I began to get ready for church service.
I was already dressed up when my partner drew my attention to the time, stating that before we got to the church premises, the service would have gone far. I wasn’t happy, but he suggested that I finish dressing up properly, just like I was going to church, and then we sat down in the living room and joined the online service.
I must say that was a powerful and amazing sermon by the man of God. He spoke about taking advantage of opportunities, blessed the week, and said the closing prayers. I felt like I was inside the church because I was so focused. After the sermon had ended, we went outside and took photos of our outfits. It was lovely, and I enjoyed Sunday.
This outfit has been in my box for a long time. Each time I wear it, I plan to take photos, but either it’s too cold or something comes up. The last time I visited my country, Nigeria, I made this gown. I got this material from my mom, who retails different types of materials. She recommended a good seamstress.
It is a popular Nigerian style that I have recently seen American celebrities wearing. I saw Kylie Jenner wear this style on Instagram. She looked great, styled by Acnestudios. This style originated from the Yoruba tribe, based on the knowledge I have about it so far. It is a simple style for women, and as a child, my mom made one for me. I remember wearing that dress a lot.
This material is so beautiful, and I look forward to wearing it at night someday. The stones on it added so much glamour. It is a see-through lace, but I wore black underwear beneath to cover up properly. The purple and golden lace are a great combination made with embroidery. This is a high-quality material and can be worn to weddings and events in general.
I accessorized with silver and purple stone earrings I got from Tk Maxx to match the silver stones. I then wore a beautiful gold bracelet my friend got me and added a gold wristwatch to match the gold-embroidered floral designs on the dress. I wanted to add a necklace, but since the neck of the lace is already lined with a golden lace ribbon tie, I didn’t. I opted for these light gold-colored heels from Xinzirain. These classy heels elevate any outfit.
