Yep, we all just grow up with this don’t we. Why is that? I’m lucky that nothing bad has ever happened to me in dark too. On another note, I love hearing about your life in Dubai, it does sound like a super safe community feel, unlike the UK. Great read x
Oh, thank you so much Lorraine - I'm so glad you like hearing about it. It's not a perfect place but it really is quite quite different to its portrayal at home so I hope I can show a bit more nuance sometimes! xx
An interesting read. I went to an exercise class earlier this week (here in Scotland), and when I left it was dark and I had a solo walk across the park to get home. I hadn’t thought about it prior but in that moment my heart sank a little with the realisation the dark nights are setting in and the outdoors doesn’t feel quite so safe any more at night. (Also spoken as someone who luckily has never experienced anything to make me feel that way - it’s just something women grow up with isn’t it? A sad reality!)
