Have you ever felt as if you have a bit of your freedom taken away?
I'm not talking grounded, or denied TV cell phone, etc. (Besides, I'm to old for that now anyway)
I Mean in a more literal sense.
I used to live, up until a few days ago, in a neighborhood where I could wander aimlessly into the wee hours of the morning, without fear, without any trouble. IT was utter freedom, able to wander the yards, fields, woods, and streets in the silence. It was the place I could be to gather my thoughts, to calm down, or to just be one with nature.
But now, I've moved off to a dormitory in the city. I can't go out past 8 alone for fear of getting harassed, or worse. There is constant cars, and sirens, and men shouting and wandering in the dark.
Now, I can't go out to think, and the whole situation is so stressful and new.
I know I'll adapt, (Im very social, and consider myself likable) but still.
At least I can still roam the Endless Forest, yet its not the same. (Me and my fawn are relaxing by De drinkplatts)
Anyone else feel like they are sometimes stuck in a place where they cant get out much?
I won't be able to join you
My parents are divorced and I go to visit my dad every summer. I live in Texas, he in Minnesota. I went from a very open and chatty society to a place where outsiders are off-limits. I don't have any friends up here and hardly any one offers a friendly word. So, I do know what it's like, if somewhat different...

Edit:
Missed the whole point when I wrote that.
What I was getting at was that I can't be myself up here, with people that automatically close themselves off to me. It's both stressful, unnerving and makes me doubt and question my everyday actions that were commonplace back South. Like you, I will get used to it, but... it's not the same and it still sucks. :/
