Ah rats. This has not been my year.
An hour ago I was robbed at gunpoint. I'm so amusingly used to life in Colombia that I'm not rattled by having a gun to my head, but I *am* kicking myself for thinking I was okay because there were two people a meter ahead, and two people a meter behind. The last time I got robbed at gunpoint, 3 years ago, I had also relaxed into having folks nearby.
*Never* let your guard down.
Phone blocked! Now just waiting for 8am to reclaim my number & reset key apps.
@Minholkin Exactly that, Minholkin! Both times that I've been robbed, I relied too much on the presence of others. Silly, silly me. My spidey sense *was* tingling. I just didn't listen to it strongly enough because of my neighbours close by. Alack.
@MLClark
I’m just so glad you’re safe for now. I hope the emotional aftermath (when things settle) feels manageable and you have activities and/or people to help comfort and soothe. 💙
