Time to Prepare

in #writing7 days ago

My adventures are getting so crazy that I think it's time for me to start bringing a gun.
I hope I don't have to kill anyone... But, I will protect myself.

I doubt I'll have any encounters with humans where I need to use the gun, though... The main reason I will be carrying is because the territory I'm getting into seems to be mountain lion territory, so... Yeah...

Even though I don't expect any problems with humans, I have been finding quite a few "homeless" camps or places where people are living out in the wilderness and I even had one guy sneak up on me and startle me a bit... So... Better safe than sorry.

I will definitely try to fire a warning shot first or maybe a few warning shots... Cause, I don't want to kill or harm anyone if I don't need to. Yet... I am prepared to do what I have to do to survive.

I may be vegan and I do my best to not harm anyone, but that doesn't mean I won't defend myself or others.

I actually believe that self defense is one of the highest forms of love, it means I'm willing to do difficult things to not let others take advantage of me or cause unnecessary harm to me.

I come from a warrior background... I spent many years learning how to fight and kill and I'll do what I need to if I feel like my life is being threatened to a significant enough degree.

That warrior background is one of the reasons I resonate with veganism so much, because I believe in "honor" and I don't think we should abuse our strength and power by taking advantage of or exploiting others, ESPECIALLY those who have done nothing to harm us and who cannot defend themselves.

All that being said... I'm having the time of my life on this adventure. It just keeps getting more and more fascinating as times goes on. :)

I feel so grateful and lucky and happy and thankful and amazed every single day that I get to do this.
Not many people can relate unfortunately... I wish they could... It's been one of the most enjoyable things in my whole life and I wish everyone could feel this kind of incredible gratitude, fulfillment and happiness. <3
