How I survived a home invasion

I stayed home from school one day because I had bronchitis so when everyone went to work I fell back to sleep and I got woken up to something knocking on my window (the curtains were closed no one could see in) and someone trying to shine a light through the cracks. Fear immediately set in and I went into survival mode. He was walking around my house when I realized what was happening I called my dad because I didn’t know how to dial 911 into my new phone so he called the cops for me. I snuck into my bathroom and locked the doors. When I realized the door locks from the outside and the front door opened and he walked in I started having a panic attack thinking I was going to die. I immediately snapped out of it and realized I had a Great Dane so I took her out of her kennel and she scared him away. Cop got there just in time. I am so very thankful for those cops that day, and my dog sadly my dad started dating someone new and she got rid of that dog. please educate your children on how to call 911 even if you think they already know how to dial it.#storytime #lemon8contest #warning #educateyourself I now have ptsd but I am now 18 and thriving

... Read moreHome invasions can happen to anyone, and understanding how to react can make a significant difference. It's crucial to create a safety plan for you and your family. Install security systems, reinforce doors, or consider a dog for added protection. Moreover, educate children on how to contact emergency services, emphasizing the importance of knowing emergency numbers and procedures to ensure their safety. Feeling prepared can significantly reduce fear during unforeseen circumstances. In the wake of trauma like this, seeking professional help for PTSD is equally important for mental health. Engage with community resources and support groups to aid recovery. Sharing personal experiences can foster awareness and encourage conversations about safety, therefore reinforcing preventive measures in our communities. Stay alert, stay safe.

Would you style your home with this chest?
This style of chest of drawers comes straight from late 19th-century America — a time when factories and railroads transformed how furniture was made and shipped. By the 1870s–1900s, chests like this became staples in middle-class homes, boarding houses, and growing city apartments. Families nee

This is a plea for help. This is a plea to help me protect my children, because the reality is I cannot do it alone. We deserved safety. We deserved peace. And I am still fighting for that right. I won’t give up and I ask you to please, if this story reaches you: Please watch. Share.

How to fall in love with yourself
I didn’t wake up one day suddenly loving myself. It started with small things. Listening when I wanted to ignore. Being kind when I wanted to criticize. Letting go of the version of me who thought love had to be earned. It’s not a perfect process — but every time I choose to stay with myself
