My mom was attacked earlier today. She survived, thankfully, with only some bruises and uncertainty. The texts and feedback on Facebook have been overwhelming. Amazing. I don’t really want to get into it on here, so if you are my FB friend, there are more details on there.
Living in NYC full of people, you get used to your surroundings. Most times I feel invincible. Sometimes I stumble home at 4 am. Sometimes I talk to strangers wherever I am. Sometimes I listen to my iPhone too loudly while ignoring what’s going on around me. Sometimes I run in Central Park after the sun sets.
One can never be too sure of their own safety. So relieved that this story has a different ending than what could have been.
