I wish I didn’t feel so uncomfortable all the time now.

I grew up right here. Lived right here for 45 years. I don’t know anyone here anymore. Everyone is gone. I cannot find anyplace to go in the tiny area within my reach that doesn’t feel like... I don’t even have the words. It’s a hundred things all added up. I wish I could go back in time when we ran the streets and alleys and the sky was wider and no real estate agents and rich homeowners could touch us. We roared by on our bikes and skateboards. Laughing.

Old and paranoid?
How absurd.
I even miss my friends parents. I ignored them then. I would give anything to see Roy and Marri again.
