If only

Yesterday we kicked off a first of a series of girls nights that will be organising every week! Was really realy nice... however, everytime I need to go home at night after being somewhere, my heart starts racing and I feel quite agitated. I become really alert and check every split second to see if the neighbourhood looks safe.. Yes I have a phobia in walking/being alone at night.

I was waiting for the bus at 11pm from Juli's place and when the bus arrived I was petrified coz I was the only person on the bus and the bus driver started talking to me in French. I responded in French saying that I was at my friend's place here in Thieffry (to make him realise I kind of know where I am). He however sensed that I am new to the area and he started talking to me just to help me and make conversation. He then said that he has a wife and 3 kids at home and he is a nice person and that I do not need to be scared of him. All this conversation happened when he was driving.

He turned out to be a very helpful person and I told him that unfortunately, being a woman and a bit of a stranger, I need to act and look cold when alone at night. He said he totally understands and that is the only way I should be to try to avoid dangerous situations.

If only the world is 'perfect' I wouldnt care if im alone or not at night!

I heartily thanked the bus driver..... I wish that all people are like him........ people that mean well and that want to help others..
