I got stabbed visiting my mom. I walked in the house, went into my mom's room, and someone stabbed me. I was shot at because I was fukking around in the streets with people who aren't street. We were getting money though. That taught me I'm a hustler, not a gangster. I like money, not violence. The Round Up bottle has a skull and crossbones on it. I thought it would turn me into a pirate so I chugged it. What happened after was way scarier.
My bed was set on fire when I was in the shower. I saw my mattress on fire and saw someone feeding the fire thinking I was in my bed. I told my mom the house was on fire and she ran to get a mop, she forgot to wet it, and spread the fire. I went next door and told the neighbors to call the fire department. Then I went into the garage because it was concrete and wouldn't burn. Dude set my bed on fire because he wanted to kill me.
I studied Ecology in college. That required me to do field research in national and state parks. I was on a hiking trail in Winter, I was in Yosemite. I think it was Winter. There were mountain lion warning signs everywhere and people had been attacked earlier that week. I knew what I was doing was dangerous, but I love nature so I walked onto a trail that had been closed due to a mountain lion attack. I saw prints, I heard that shyt in the brush. I wanted to run, but I knew it'd chase me if I turned my back to it, ran away, or acted scared. Predators are very curious, they'll bite you just to see what you are. Behaving as prey will get you treated like prey. NEVER TURN YOUR BACK AND RUNAWAY. Always back away slowly, make yourself big and wide, also be loud while staring the predator down. You have to punk the predator or calmly navigate yourself out of the situation.
I almost drown because I grew up swimming in the ocean. I got ahead of myself, swam too far out, was too small, and got pulled under by a current. I didn't take a breath before I got caught in it. I also fought so I was tired. I was a kid so I didn't know to relax, don't fight, and take a deep breath before you go under the water.
