My relationship with safety is fraught. I don’t trust it. Which is why I still haven’t learned to drive in my 20s. Kuya was there, my uncles were there, commute is there, walking is there. You know? We can do without it? Around this time I had a pressing concern: If a speeding car hits me while I wasn’t looking, was it my fault? Now of course there’s a lot of factors here. Is there someone at fault in an accident? See, this is why for a time I had difficulty crossing the road, even if it was Pedestrian Go.
