Blog Post: Take Up Space

Yesterday was a pretty harrowing day for me.

Every day, I like to take walks when the weather allows it, particularly this time of year. The falling leaves, changing colors, and Halloween decorations always bring me joy. I also take these walks because they help me decompress and are meditative.

In short, I love these walks.

When I was walking yesterday, I arrived at a crosswalk right next to my neighborhood, continuing the walk into the neighborhood across the street. As I entered the crosswalk, a young, blond-haired, white woman pulled up to the intersection in her silver 4×4 pickup truck. She looked directly at me as I was entering the crosswalk and proceeded to hit the gas.

I jumped back as she drove by to avoid being hit. She continued to stare at me as she drove through.

I was livid.
