Why I Avoid Walking Alone at Night

There’s something about being out after dark that just makes my heart race. I clutch my keys, check over my shoulder, and try to look confident, but inside I’m on edge the whole time. It’s not fair that I have to feel this way just because I’m a woman. Sometimes I wish I could just relax and enjoy the night air, but the fear is always there. I know I’m not alone in this, and it sucks that so many of us have to think about our safety constantly. It shouldn’t be this way, but for now, I just do what I can to stay safe. #WomensSafety #NightWalks #RealTalk #Health #MentalHealth
