    12 years old I’d walk 1.5 miles home, crossing two major roads on the way. It wasn’t safe, it wasn’t life threatening either. It was about the pace of the life I’d experience for the next 30 years.

    Not saying we’ve gone soft on the kids - the world got kinda more fucked up - but like, maybe the pendulum swung too far the other way, ya know?
