infamously-exhausted:

i hope that 2018 is fruitful and you love and are loved, that january brings you a comforting sense of innocence and nostalgia, that february brings you enthusiasm and motivation, that march is a month of liminal space, that in april you stand your ground, that may brings you focus and opportunity, and that june allows you inner introspection

Make sure you switch up your routine like how you get home or what time… don’t be predictable for the people keeping track.

Walk with purpose like you know where you are and where you’re going even if you don’t.

Have your keys in hand before you’re at your car or home so you won’t be standing there fumbling.

Have your phone charged and ready but don’t walk with your head down looking at your phone!!! I see this so much 😧.. and keep your location on.

Spin around fast every now and then just to see if anyone’s been watching, averting their gaze, or following you.

Someone need help? They break down? Need help with groceries? If you’re alone that ain’t your business, keep it moving. That’s how you get snatched.

Turn your music down or off so you hear around you. Pay attention to who’s around and for how long. Don’t be afraid to make eye contact to communicate “I remember your face”.. you can even speak.

Don’t put your kid’s name on their stuff because all someone has to do is call their name and say “Johnny your mom said come over here” .. same with you don’t fall for that.

Stay where a lot of people are, like, try not to be standing alone at night at a bus stop.. or walking to class on a deserted path with alleys or bushes, you know?

Don’t flash pricey things. Don’t leave it out in the open in your car. Don’t hold/count money in public.

Don’t meet up alone with someone you just met online or someone you just met period….. people LIE and fake whole personalities and life stories.. it’s EASY especially if they want you for a reason. Have a plan.

Learn some type of self defense and don’t be afraid to permanently injure/kill if need be. Also, I hear yelling “fire” gets more attention than “help”. Go figure.

Which is why if you see something weird happening with someone else or hear them yell in distress…. use your phone to call someone or take a pic, something. Pay attention not just for you, but for others. Never know what you’ll catch.

Also remember that it doesn’t matter who you are, you have enemies. You don’t always know who they are.
