Some weird but important thoughts.

Today while I was at work, taking out the trash I thought about what would I do if I got jumped by someone. I work in a bad neighborhood. Young woman just got all busted up because she was waiting for the bus when 2 young men came up and told her she was fine, they wanted her number. She refused. They beat her senseless and broke her arm.

I am always prepared and always thinking a head about what I would do if a bad situation occurred. At work I keep a utility knife open and in quick reach if I am attacked. In my car I have a tire thumper. At home I have a gun right by my bed and know what is in reach so that I can have a weapon available. When walking in bad neighborhoods or at night I keep my key between my fingers just in case I need to hurt someone to get away.

I just realized recently that I have done this sort of thinking my whole life. Today I realized that there are 2 kinds of people in this world, victims and survivors. You don't have to stay a victim your whole life, you can become a survivor. Just like a survivor can become a victim. I chose to be the survivor. Don't take unnecessary risks, be prepared and always know what is going on around me. I once was a victim, for many years but no more! I am strong, I can think, hear me roar!
