all have places where we feel safe, but we rarely think about them. The house we grew up in, the quiet street we walked every day, the cozy café that felt like a second home, or even a familiar park bench. They’re like the air around us—so constant that we forget they can disappear.
But the truth is, safety is a privilege, not a guarantee. One day, you might realize that your favorite street doesn’t feel the same anymore, that the bench has welcomed new visitors, or that the café’s warmth now belongs to strangers.
Take a moment to appreciate the places that have silently held you. Be grateful for them—before they become just a memory.
