Century City WestField Mall and parking lot have always felt safe. Right now the pride colors are all over and I feel welcome. I belong. This means quite a bit to me. Today was different, but I never felt unsafe myself. I would do just about anything to make sure others feel safe, too, because we all belong. I have seen assaults more than once and I have survived some. One assault that I witnessed was in broad daylight as I waited for a light to change in a busy intersection. That time I had tried to contact police about it and found out the kid that got beaten was deaf. I was beside myself and was upset I didn't do more. Today, I did more.
