Sage wisdom, April. Some things require thought and a plan:

Have confidence you can disable a male. A knee to the groin, a palm up thrust to the nose, a spread hand (with fingernails pointing) to the eyes will do the trick. With more than one male, strike hard and fast, and yell/scream to get the adrenaline up. Think through and visualize scenarios.

I’m more afraid of people that carry guns and talk (brag) about them. Definitely loose cannons.

I’m especially fearful of a government and a society that’s not taking care of its people; of a power grid more conducive to AI and crypto than keeping people warm in winter and cool in summer; that’s allowing evil elements to create fear in our best friends; of an economy based on spiraling prices for basics like food and housing while also destroying the natural environment; of a world where we don’t talk, and argue, enough.

A wise man once cautioned us about letting our fears get the best of us. Better to face them head on in your mind, then be ready if you have to confront them in reality.

I’m still dreaming of earning enough to meet my needs.

I seek beauty and solace in the natural world.
