I just got hit with an epiphany /memory of experiences type thing
As a kid there was a few bridges where you would get gangs hanging around drinking, doing drugs, etc
Everyday there was about a 50/50 chance of having to pass these dangerous groups, there had been a couple of local kids raped and you were always hearing of robberies. Bikes etc.
So being forced to go to school and even wanting to see a friend on the opposite side we would pass them I just remembered erd vividly how I would gear myself up take a deep breath then bomb it on my bike thinking that going fast would make me less noticeable or appear tough so these yobs of all ages wouldn't mess with me.
Nowadays that is the equivalent of me needing to pass a pack of hyenas known for torturing and raping people. Which I would be crying for my whisky and diazepam... What a cruel waste and despicable game this is how weak and pathetic it makes us.
