Hello,
Self blame is all the rage these days. I overeat, I don't exercise enough, I'm lazy etc etc but what if it's my neighbourhood that's at fault ?
I used to be fit, slim and asthma free. Not so these days and my health has taken a nose dive. I stayed in, I wore a mask, I sanitized and I still caught COVID. I've had all the boosters and it made no difference. My local swimming pool has closed, the local traffic is bumper to bumper, there are huge lorries trundling around.
Years of new estates being built all around me have taken their toll and there's no end to it.
If I complain about barbecue smoke, I'm ignored.
There's litter, graffiti and fly tipping everywhere and the average rent is through the roof.
The streets at night are not well lit and don't feel safe either. So excuse me if I've ballooned, have become out of shape and huff and puff around the only haven left, my local park. Quack, quack, quack.
