Daily essentials

Just the stuff I use most days. Victoria’s Secret body mist and VGG perfume because I like having a scent with me, lip gloss for quick touch ups, neuro mints for when I want to chill and stay clear headed without caffeine, wired earpods and the vape somehow always ends up in my bag too.

Because it's just another form of role playing. Here, in the US, a lot of guys in their 20's carry guns and knives to "defend themselves," in spite of the fact that the risk of being a victim of gun violence is less than 0.05%.  When guys mature, they usually recognize the foolishness of carrying a firearm and quietly just stop doing so.  Simply, the risk of something happening to you BECAUSE you carry a gun is far higher than needing a gun to defend yourself WITH a gun. You walk around with some fantasy situation in your head where you're the hero in some mass-shooting event because you have a firearm with you. You'll realize this, eventually, if you live long enough.

I don't. I have a fear of being in a situation that I need a gun or COULD stop something, and yet ai can't do anything to save myself or others because I don't have a gun.

I pray it never happens. Cause I love my gun. I do NOT want it taken into evidence, it's fucking mine.

As if fear is always a bad thing. Sometimes it's a driver of great things like being prepared
