When I was still a young, excitable and impetuous stud who is always raring to go on an epic adventure of a lifetime with my friends who are equally impulsive and volatile just like me, I used to enjoy all sorts of fun and thrilling activities that are not for the fainthearted because they are quite daring and dangerous. Aside from running with the bulls of Pamplona, hunting different kinds of wild game in the heart of Africa, exploring the deepest trenches of the unforgiving ocean as well as climbing all the way to the top of the tallest mountains, I also enjoy roughhousing and playing different kinds of sports with other top athletes who always go hard and do not pull their punches. I used to be fearless because I felt invincible and immortal but all of that changed when I met the love of my life, got married, started a family of my own and had the beautiful children that I have always wanted since the dawn of time.
Now, instead of living life on the fast lane and constantly pushing my body past its limits and normal threshold, I make sure that we have all the first aid content that we need because I prioritize safety first and foremost due to the fact that it will certainly crush my heart and soul if anything bad happens to the people that I hold close and dear to my heart. But I am caught between an enormous rock and a hard place because while I am adamant, obstinate and obdurate in keeping my family away from all sorts of danger and harm, I would also love for my wife and children to experience and see the beauty of the world just like I did before. Therefore, I resolved that instead of living in fear, staying inside our safety bubble and preventing them from venturing out of my comfort zone, I just compromised by making sure that I am always there to catch them whenever they stumble and fall. With that said, aside from making sure that we have a fully-stocked first aid kit readily available in every room of the house so that I can spring into action in case of small accidents and dire emergencies alike, I also invested on minor repairs and home improvement projects around the house to make sure that every inch is safe for my kids who are always playing and running around. And to ward off all sorts of bad guys and criminals like robbers, cat burglars, thieves and murderers who will stop at nothing to accomplish their dastardly deals and evil plans, I also invest in sophisticated, comprehensive and state of the art alarm systems complete with CCTV cameras and motion-sensing floodlights. After buying mom first aid boxes complete with sterilized gauzes, alcohol swabs, antidotes, bandages and epinephrine shots in case of deadly allergic reactions, I also teach my young children what to do and what to avoid in case of emergencies and high pressure situations when there are no adults around. Finally, when we leave the confines and comforts of our home sweet home to get back in touch with Mother Nature and enjoy the great outdoors, I make sure that we have everything that we need from food rations and potable water to emergency kits and flare guns so that we can survive and live off the land if need be.
