โ€œI think I panickedโ€ฆcorrectly?โ€ ๐Ÿคฃ

I can't count how many times I've had situations like that happen. Siblings, coworkers, strangers. Doing something so out of character, but also doing it so well as if I trained for it.

People would ask me "How did you do that?" Or "Who taught you that?"

"I don't know, it was....an accident? " I would say feeling just as surprised as everyone else lol

Those were some of the scariest moments in my life. I would even blackout sometimes, and hear about what happened from someone else who had been present.

I did get a little teaching for self defense from dad, but I never actually practiced, or intentionally put it to use. I like to think angels were intervening on my behalf to keep me safe. ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜

Those are some hard lessons! Haha! Especially โ€œThe world doesnโ€™t care about your preference for peace, son. It cares about your response to chaos.โ€ Sad, but trueโ€”right there. Preparing for chaos is one of lifeโ€˜s necessities. ๐Ÿ˜Š
