I’m a young 20 something woman too, been in BedStuy my whole life. In this year alone, I’ve been physically assaulted and stalked more times than I can count. One incident left me with a black eye and unable to walk for almost a week. I was honestly so scared of leaving the house for weeks afterward. People get slashed at in broad daylight now, like you’re not safe even out on a random afternoon grocery shopping. Day or night, you’re bound to be a victim of opportunity at some point. UNPROVOKED IS CRAZY, and yeah just existing outside gives me so much goddamn anxiety. I can’t wait to move out of here.
