What I learned from my mugging

[harperjean]

[Spoiler alert: I'm fine. This was weeks ago.]Listen to good advice. Most of the time, your friends know what they're talking about - especially when it comes to their own neighborhoods. If they tell you you shouldn't walk alone at that hour, just don't

I am sorry to hear that this happened to you, but I am glad to hear that it was not more grievous than it was.

That's terrible that this happened to you, and I'm glad to hear you're recovering well. Very, very good that a friend was available to help you out.

It's interesting, I think I have decent situational awareness. I'm an observant person by nature, so even if I'm in my head little things will catch my eye. However, unless it is is ultra obvious, I have no sense of when people are paying attention to me b/c I stand out. Other people will tell me later. For example, in Egypt, apparently the guys were cat calling me when we walked down the street, even with Stevan, even with other Egyptian men. I had no idea.

So sorry this happened, but glad that you weren't more seriously injured!
