•I believe everything that happens in your life happens for a reason, it teaches you a lesson.It's interesting but people tend to learn more often on their own mistakes rather than on the others.
I'm sure at least once in your life you had a bad life event happened to you that you wish never happened. I was silly enough to put myself in danger before.
Let me be honest,the country where I am from is not considered to be the safest one in the world.Going out on your own or walking down the street after 10-11 pm is not the best idea that can come to your mind...
Here it goes:
8 years ago my cousin and I were visiting my aunt who lived one block away from the building where I used to rent my room while studying in university.It was around 12 am when we decided to go back home after a traditional tea drinking and talking about different stuff. Our cousin Diaz, my aunt's son offered to walk us home safely but we refused coz we thought it was super close and we were two people so there was no need for that.
The tunnel:
We were walking through the residential building towards home, we walked in the small tunnel, as we were walking through I could hear my high heels click-clack click-clack down the tunnel and I thought: it wouldn't be nice if a robber could hear me walk here...
A lesson:
We walked out from the tunnel and noticed a black shadow standing 3 meters away. There he was - my great lesson. We froze, he suddenly came running towards us..My stomach dropped, that was the only time in my whole life when I ever experienced this feeling of fear that you can't even describe. I couldn't believe it was happening to me, you usually think bad stuff happens to other people but not to you...
The bag 💼:
So he started taking away our bags that we had on us, we started screaming and fighting him.Everything happened super fast I don't remember much, but the weirdest thing was that this guy didn't make any noise during all this time,I never heard his voice and didn't see his face.Analyzing the situation now, I realize how dangerous and stupid of us it was to fight with the criminal for the bags!He could have a knife or any other weapon and kill us, we were lucky enough that nothing major happened to us. Never ever try to fight the one who attacks you for your valuables, just give it away.It's not worth it!
So he got to take my cousin's bag and ran away and we ran away from there as well.We were running and crying.It all happened just 300 meters away from my place.We finally got inside the building and stopped to catch a breath.My cousin looked at me and said I have a blood on my face. He hit me quite hard several times, but it wasn't that bad.I asked my cousin what was in her bag?She answered through crying that there was a shampoo and a shower gel she bought that day.I told her: "Well, now he can shower his ass off with that!😂Loser!" We started hysterically laughing.All the fuss for a shampoo and a shower gel.I guess he also got a lesson to not rob poor students on the streets 😂😂😂😂I even feel kinda sorry for him..imagine his face when he opened the bag🤣👏
Better safe than sorry:
Jokes aside, this incident really taught me a great lesson - to never walk alone at night no matter what, because it's always better safe than sorry!Now, if I ever have to go back home alone from a bar or anywhere else I always take a taxi and ask the driver to get me right to the porch.
Have you ever had any experiences like that?
