When I've experienced that then I keep on praying and talking to God for protecting me in all harms. From there I really believe that I really have my Angel beside me that guiding me all the time. Other than that I keep on walking so fast so that no one can disturb me.

I walk quickly and start to think about happy things that happened to me even if it was a week ago. I keep myself focus and ready for everything. I'm trying to be confident.

I get a little scared when I'm home alone sometimes. I don't get too bad now because we have two lab dogs that bark like crazy. They bark any time they hear a car door that is close or if someone rings the door bell. They also bark if they hear a noise or voice that the don't recognize. So I'm pretty sure that if someone came into my house they'd let me know. I still turn more lights on then I normally would. Or I settle into one room and don't wander around the house too much.

You don't have to be scared. Think about the the fine thing which could be the loneliness. You can do just what you want, read a good book, watch tv, listen music... I have something to do all the time. But I'd like to have more free moments.

I just walk and listen to some music on my phone really I try not to think about anything else and enjoy the lonliness while I am at it. Are you worried something will happen? Like you'll get kidnapped or something? Don't worry as long as there are still people around.
