I finally started carrying pepper spray and here's why.

Honestly, I always assumed I was careful enough on my own, that I did not need to be paranoid and assume the worst happening to the point where I would need to have pepper spray on me, that was until a recent evening walk changed my perspective. The streets were quiet as usual, I was alone coming from my routine evening strolls.

I felt that gut-level unease, I felt like I was being followed, but when I looked behind me, I saw no one. It was not until a few minutes that I caught a glance of someone in a hood trying to hide behind a parked bus, that was when I knew I was not imagining things, so I ran,.as fast as I could, It was either I gave a pretty good distance or the person didn't give me a chase, I was too scared to know which it was. I got home, locked up and then I started to find videos on how to DIY a pepper spray, however, I didn't trust myself to pull it off, so I just went on Alibaba and ordered one that I picked up during lunch the next day.

I still look over my shoulder when I walk back home but this time, I have my hand in my bag ready to defend myself should the need arise.
