Be prepared.

Top 10 things I would take if I had to flee due to a sudden apocalyptic circumstance...

2.) Weapons/tools
3.) Clothing - this includes practical outerwear/footwear
4.) First aid kit/toiletries
5.) A backpack
6.) A reliable vehicle with a gas can/syphon hose
7.) Fire by means of matches/lighters etc
8.) A sleeping bag
9.) Sage the land-shark 
10.) A strong and capable man or woman (who has not already turned into a zombie)

As the silver drips from the lining...

Maybe there isn`t always a silver lining. Sometimes it`s just more authentic to drop the `everything happens for a reason` cliche and admit that nothing foreseeably good will come from a situation. Why must we falsely comfort ourselves in a time of grief by telling ourselves that through this happening we will emerge triumphant, stronger, distinguished, and that everything will be okay? Dive into your misery. Own the pain. Our whole world is built on hiding away all that causes discomfort. Out of sight out of mind. Bottle it up and keep it on a shelf behind your finest wine. It`s not that simple. It`s not always going to be alright. And you know what? That`s okay. That`s honest. And that`s life.
