❝Okay, so I have not told you this because I didn’t think of it as a huge problem at the time. Anyways, last week I got mugged and may have gotten hurt - which happens, I mean, it’s New York. But ever since that encounter, my dad has been super paranoid and apparently signed me up for self-defense classes. I always found marital arts to be fascinating and everything, but suddenly I’m starting to worry of whether or not I hurt someone, like, majorly or even permanently. I’ve always thought being able to defend oneself was pretty cool, but I don’t want to injure someone in the process. I feel like I already do that enough to people on a daily basis with my clumsiness and everything. What am I going to do? Should I tell him it’s a bad idea and draw? I don’t know if I have the heart to risk damaging another person.❞
