Well I wish I had some fantastic intro planned but I dont. I dont even have a crazy story as to why I decided to take this path. I have just seen so many bad things and have felt helpless for a long time. I believe in past lives and reincarnation and in this life I just feel as if I am a lost warrior. There is nothing in this world for me that calls to me from my soul, except helping people. Every conventional way seems very corrupt nowadays(medical industry, police, millitary, even charities). I often feel as if I am in the wrong time period and know no other way to help that is not 'warrior' in nature. For example, nowadays if you see someone getting mugged or raped you call the police.... well every fiber of my being instantly says "PROTECT THIS PERSON THEY NEED YOUR HELP NOW." Police are coming, or could come but I am right here. why am I not doing anything? I feel this is problematic. No one is self reliant anymore. Not even me, even though I have a job, live on my own etc. I still feel bound to a job, and restricted. Everything is to civilized if you will. So I just needed to find a way to bring the 'old ways' of the warrior that I have been itching to get out, out.
So nothing heroic, or traumatic really... just the feeling of being out of place, and seeing how much common sense has left the world.
I patrol a city of 20,000ish people, for crime. I do things like pick up trash, clean graffiti and collect can goods. I am usually out on the weekends as I have a full time job. And I am currently trying to put a team together, so all nights of the week can be covered. In the summer I am going to take up parkour, and hopfuly by then I will get a work out habit down. they are sooo hard to keep!
