Small town living, I was as safe as if I was in bed.
That’s good you think that…small towns are full of creepy people disguised as good guys! I grew up in one too but only discovered this as an adult.
I had my share of being disciplined with a switch, being abused by nuns in school and having people tell me I wasn’t good enough, but in the end most did it out of love. Love and goodness is all around, one just needs to adjust the filters of souls seeking a way home. Even the priest who touched my friends was driven by a kind of love– Misguided as it was. Understanding that no one person is perfect – I like to think that, like a swing, three quarters of the time people are falling and only a small part of the time they are flying.
I tend to dwell on the flight!

Did you really sneak out at night?
All the time
That’s very scary! Did you ever get caught?
