It is late at night when you are out with your friends at a local bar celebrating the end of a busy work week. You start to say your goodbyes but are hesitant to leave because you are thinking about the 15 minute walk back to your apartment and all the possibilities of danger that could occur. Unable to call a taxi because you do not want to spend the extra money, you start to walk home. The whole time you grow increasingly paranoid of the man you think has been following you since you left the bar. At the next street, he turns and walks in the opposite direction of you. Why is it that our minds are now trained to assume the worst? Why aren’t we able to enjoy a night out without questioning whether or not we will get home safely afterwards?
Imagine being able to leave your home whenever you want by yourself without the fear of something bad happening to you taking over your thoughts. Or feeling comfortable enough to be out alone even when it is dark out. This is what we are striving towards.
