  • Hey friends, it's Rosie here.

  • Welcome back to Radio Headspace.

  • When I was little, the playgrounds didn't have soft rubber mats or padded turf.

  • It had concrete.

  • Real, unforgiving, skin meets ground, concrete.

  • Metal bars bolted into cement that didn't care how old you were or how soft your knees still felt.

  • I remember falling more than once.

  • I remember that hot, immediate sting when skin met metal.

  • That slide of death in the middle of a Los Angeles summer in the 90s.

  • The kind of heat where the metal burned your thighs before you even sat down.

  • Your palms would sweat against the bars and one wrong grip meant gravity did the rest.

  • I still have a faint scar on my knee from a fall that felt catastrophic at five years old.
