I totally understand.
I used to be terrified of spiders. I’m still not a fan, but as I’ve aged I have learned to peacefully co-exist. As long as they stay in their lane 
Spiders or any sort of insects don’t bother me. Snakes? That’s a completely different story.
That’s the major issue in our house. The recluse spiders have an annoying tendency to end up in the bathtub shower overnight during certain times of year. I removed one this morning, had one in my towel a week or so ago that I didn’t know was there until I was drying off and squished it against my shoulder, and a couple weeks before that I found one on a back scrubber as I was preparing to lather it up.
They’re also guaranteed to be in/on/around all kinds of things in the basement, especially tight spaces between and under objects that aren’t used often like cardboard storage box lids/flaps.

I would not care for any of that 
I used to be properly scared of spiders, so much so that I would have to leave the room until it was disposed of.
I am no longer scared and just recently I figured out why.
Playing an online MMO one of the nasties was a spider- like thing but as big as a truck, up to the size of a house. They’re super aggressive too and I hated coming across them. I even had nightmares about these virtual beasties. Eventually I levelled up enough to actually fight these things and as I grew stronger I found I could easily beat even the biggest specimens.
Et voila, no more arachnophobia.

During a little downtime at work this morning, I was re-browsing photos from my wife and I’s recent honeymoon in Northern Ireland.
I’d completely passed over this image taken up on Fair Head for some reason. I was struck by the ethereal but still directional feel of the light. It was dreary that afternoon and the light was not very directional except in small moments.
I guess this one just didn’t jump out during post on the iPad screen.

We are enjoying a super-mild stretch of weather, and I snuck out for a gravel ride yesterday afternoon. I shot this pic of my bike in front of a World War II era munitions bunker.
