Transformation
The last time I used the bus as my main source of transportation was over 4 years ago. And now I'm back at it. I remember what it felt like then, to travel the city alone at night as a black woman.... It was fearsome. I was constantly looking over my shoulder or into the shadows. I had a lot of scary threating encounter happen to me in those nights coming home from work. Which raised my anxiety and fear of the dark. However now it feels peaceful. There is this feeling of ownership of the night. I am aware of the space around me but I don't feel fear of it. I embrace it. Maybe it's the strength I gained, the knowledge, the confidence or all the above. Whatever it is it's definitely a transformation.
P.s. I want to get into #martialarts what dojo do you like?
