Sadly all of my visits to your fine city coincided with running hiatus periods in my life, but right now I’m seriously fantasizing about running through that thick, cold dark that I experienced there… If not for my child (and job and husband and house, I guess) I’d buy a ticket tomorrow!

I did an early run today (it’s been a good while since the last (pre)dawn one) and noticed the same thing. I quite like it! :-)

I want to think that by having lived it all myself I’ll be more able to understand what she encounters and approach it with some level of calm, but I think that having lived it I know all too well the trouble that can be found if you go looking in the right places. I hope that when the time comes I’ll be able to find that equanimity, instead of just freaking out that my daughter might end up in a techno club one night if I don’t keep tabs on her at all times!

I spend all this time writing about my old self and daydreaming about how much fun my life used to be, but I would do just about anything to keep my daughter from ever doing the things I did… I don’t know how my own parents ever survived it!

I can relate in many ways: I was not into the same scene as you, and my children are now older (19, 17, 13, 10), but I see them finding their way and try to be supportive but not judgemental, offer guidance without coercion, and know that they will find their own way.

I love it! I can relate on so many levels…the most being how little I would want my son to grow up the way that I did! :)
