Wandering around Freiburg used to be my thing.
I would go on walks by myself for hours at a time.
Lately, the comfort of doing that has disappeared.
One too many bad things have happened in the last few months.
I know bad things happen in all cities, but this feels closer to home that usual.
With time and the changing seasons maybe we will all forget.
We might slowly get used to walking by ourselves and not being scared of every person that passes us on the street.
I hope with the new year and the longer days it will feel different.
Feeling safe in Freiburg was one of my favorite things about it.
I want it back.
