Getting up at a$$-oā-clock early to get our kid on the bus for school has become my favorite part of the day while Iām unemployed. The two of us crack stupid jokes over their breakfast and once theyāre gone I slip onto the balcony with my coffee. So quiet.
Child is exhibiting clear signs of preteen-dom. They got mad at me while we were eating breakfast, left the table in a snit, and called their best friend to hang out. Theyāre talking about video games on the phone, slouched in an easy chair in stereotypical āteen posture.ā
I made the mistake of asking a youngster "how old do you think I am?" š
I used to hate it when people asked me to guess how old they're. I used to be polite and guess a much younger age. Nowadays, if asked to guess somebody's age, I just tell 'em they look a lot older.
I'm sick of people being shot, stabbed, etc., etc. on our subways. I never remember it being this bad, but it feels like we're being gaslit re: how crime numbers are down. People rely on public transit and some use it as a way to reduce their environmental impact. The last thing we need to do is drive more people away from it. Can nobody get a grip on this?

Youth (gang) crimes have increased 3 - fold in our country during recent years, I think I saw 10 - fold increase in robbing crimes in some areas. The new government only increases poverty and does nothing to stop that.
One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain So hit me with music, hit me with music

.Iām sorry that is the case. Thatās a huge increase in crime and itās ludicrous that poverty is increasing.

The most worrying thing is that the number of crimes committed by children 15 years or under has gone through the roof. I don't really know what's happening in our city and the country.

Wow, no kidding? Sounds like youth are suffering from poverty and maybe feeling there is no hope, or that they have no stake in the game. That's sad.
Here, it's not like I feel I'm in imminent danger (well, there was a time on the train a few weeks ago that was quite scary), but violence does mess with the collective energy in a community. I had to go to the subway station today where a person arrived shot and stabbed on a train yesterday. You can tell people feel anxious and upset. However, what we're experiencing is nothing compared to what many people in the world face each day. Just a taste...
Just wanted to say I can relate. Itās one of my biggest challenges in terms of wanting to scream at the top of my lungs.
Iāve been in a dark place for quite a while about this. Even though I try to remind myself itās ājustā work, I canāt beat the accompanying anxiety/ depression.
