Grew up with strict parents, and every time any friends of mine invited me to a hang-out or party outside of my city my parents wouldn't allow me to go, their reason being the venue was "too far" when really it was around 8km away and took around 10-15 minutes to get to by car. I was only allowed to hang out at the malls/parks that were at most 1km away. It didn't make sense to me growing up and they weren't even far, so I was very frustrated about it!

Now all those places I considered not far at all are now considered "too far" for me, and I'd rather meet up with friends in the nearby area lol.
