Free post: Do we feel safe in our own city?

Hi everyone! Thank God this week is over! ALMOST! I'm writing from the library while I'm waiting for my Investiture Ceremony. I didn't want to come back home because I have just two hours for that. The ceremony starts at 6 so I have a long time to finish this.

The title I chose was: Do we feel safe in our own city? I am going to write about this topic because is something that I've always thought about. Since I was a child I've been scared of everything. If I'm walking in a dark street I get a little paranoid and start looking everywhere. I don't like to be alone in my house. I always try to get home with my boyfriend and most of the times he has to deviate from is way home just to left me safety at mine. I hate taking the bus when is already dark. I prefer leave the party early if my parents can't go pick me up, etc, etc, etc. I'm afraid all the time D:

And the main reason is that I have been assaulted two times. Recently my sister was assaulted too, and the guy threatened her with a gun.

All those events made me a control freak. I always want to know where my sister and my brother are, when are they gonna get home, at what hour my parents are going to pick me up, etc. And I hate it! I hate to be worried all the time. It is not normal.
But everything would be different if I could feel safe walking everywhere, anytime in my own city. Sometimes we don't realize that we live almost behind bars trying to protect our stuff and most important the people we love.

Political campaigns always talk about the importance of defeat crime, but I've never seen a big change in that area. The only thing that has change is the way criminals attack people, and the way the people try to defend from them.

Good news! We can always be worse than now. And the main thing, we can always make things better. But until that doesn't change, I'll be forced to keep being a control freak xD.
