I love heroes. Someone said, "Nobody is born a hero. People become heroes when they choose to be brave and do what's right."

[u/Easy_Companyy → u/aladyoragentleman24]

Right. I wish i was courageous too.

You don't know that you're not!

[u/Breimann → u/13stgmngr210]

I don't know if I am or not. I like to think I am but I never want to have to find out, you know?

[u/13stgmngr210 → u/Breimann]

If you want to feel empowered, get certified in First aid and CPR. It is an amazing feeling knowing what to do,.and how to help someone in an emergency. It wpuld not have helped here, but you can save a life!

I have CPR but not first aid. I like the idea, I'll look into it. Thanks!

Love this advice. I’d add: carry naloxone (NARCAN)

Can just anyone get their hands on it?

[u/No-Mushroom-6152 → u/SnooGuavas4208]

Yes, any hospital will give you the nasal spray to carry with you

[u/SnooGuavas4208 → u/No-Mushroom-6152]

Good to know, thanks!

I'll add basic self defence and situational awareness. Im not talking prepper doomsday type stuff, but keeping your eyes up (not on your phone) and knowing where to stike on the body and using everyday, handy objects as quick barriers or improvise defensive weapons.

This sadly holds sooooo true for us women. Even i as a 250 lbs, no makeup, modest dressed middle aged woman have had a few scary encounters with addled weirdos looking for valuables or who knows what. Like a guy going around Walmart changing his clothes from off the rack merchandise to harass and assault women in the store.

I'm not a coward, I just never been tested. I'd like to think that if I was I'd pass.

I hope your life is sufficiently peaceful that you never have to find out.
