How Child Unfriendly Were The Places You Used To Play?

This is me and my cousins back in 1969 and ranging from 3 to 7 years old, I’m the youngest in the middle. We used to play in my grandfather’s backyard and loved it. Electric fences, garbage, rusty old Iron lying around and rats from the creek at the back. Strangly no major accidents ever happened other than stepping on a rusty nail. Looking at this old photograph I can’t imagine they let us play unsupervised and how we ran around there carefree.

I'm from Belgium and I recently got blocked. I have not any clue why and hoping to get an answer. I am a nice and descent person that likes humor and dry whit. I'm left with forever wondering what I did wrong. I also hate being left for a loop.

Fantasy and magic have always ruled over my world, from movies to TV shows, to Video Games to tabletop games like Dungeos and Dragons, I try to find magic in every part of my life. Writing is a big part of me too, I hope to publish a fantasy novel one day. I also enjoy playing guitar and singing, as music always help me to get in a great mood.

I have an adorable German Shepherd named Hela and we get into all kinds of adventures together.
