I grew up on a street without streetlights, so when we moved to one that did, it seemed normal enough at first, but got annoying after a while. Now I look at light pollution for what it is, just a waste of energy.

Now there is lights right outside my window and no way to put up curtains that block because where I live we are not allowed to put up curtain rods to put black out curtains. I am one of those people who like absolute darkness at night. I sure as hell do not get it.
