YOU DO NOT HAVE PAPER HORNS.

Still, the world is dangerous, and both man made (government and criminal, malicious and accidental) and natural disasters could cause all sorts of harm I can do nothing about. As I was saying in the last post, gallows humor, it helps. And focusing on what I have rather than what might happen. Of course I try to remain prepared and observant, there is no absurd "either/or" choice of being a happy go lucky fool or cringing neurotic, at least not for me.

Well I usually don't worry about myself. I'm not fearless but maybe more than many...?

I do worry for those I love. I'll just tell them, tell them to remain aware which I think is SO important. No amount of preparedness will be enough if you don't stay aware of when you need it.

I don't remember how I got over it. Now I still occasionally feel that the world ins't a safe place. I find it more damaging to my emotional/mental well-being than physical.

I guess I try my best by taking chances n preparing for the worst - it gives me peace of mind to know that I have "the solutions" you know lol not that they always work... Sometimes laughing/shrugging it off can be good. It comes naturally after the 1st few times.

When I die, I die. Until then I'm cool.

What is there to be afraid of?

It was the opposite for me plenty of times, sometimes when I was naive and happy go lucky I got into the most trouble with bad people who took advantage of that, one that came real close to killing me. OTOH, I had some of the epic best luck when I was downright paranoid, and not just because I was alert and aware to danger (and thus bypass it to get to the diamonds in the muck) but just pure good luck.

I know someone who will probably cry from laughing so hard when she sees this, can't wait to show it to her.

Except.. it's not true.

3 weeks ago, while I was in Turkey, my friend and I were followed home by a guy who asked us something on the street (we didn't understand because it was in Turkish), then seemed to have moved past us, only to return and follow us. When we were searching for the keys to enter the building, he attacked me. Not both of us, me. -_- I didn't hear him behind even though I am almost always very aware of my surroundings and possible dangerous people because I am paranoid due to my past. I wasn't hurt physically even though he tried - and succeeded, because my guard was down - to touch me. Psychologically I was a mess for a couple of days, I beat myself up because I didn't hear him, because we were talking too loud, laughing too loud, maybe my dress was not long enough etc. But soon I've changed my perspective because I SHOULD be entitled to all that AND be safe - it is not something I did, it's something a sick person did. I should not be feeling scared to be myself and put myself out there in the world. I used to look at sexy looking girls and wonder how the hell they don't get assaulted all the time, since it seemed logical to me. But nope, women dress sexy all the time and are safe to go do their thing. I know my Mars-Pluto is still emanating this energy "abuse me, abuse me, I'm right here!" but to hell with it. Yes, the world is not a safe place for people like me because of that but you know something? I am not going to continue to see myself as a victim. And since it doesn't matter what weight I'm at or shape I'm in to draw this energy to me, then I'd rather look great while the f*cktards follow me around. At least they'll bury me looking pretty.

Don't let them fu**ers get you down.

I admire your strength and determination so much.

Much love to you.

You are very valued, don't forget.
