And last of all ive turned 20. So life isnt entirely horrible. Just at times it seems overwhelmingly negative.

Yes it does, especially when you get knocked back down just as you have gotten up on your knees, not yet even standing. It gets hard not to think: "screw it, no sense in trying to get up again". Hang in there!

Note to yourself: I don't know if you are an alcohol drinker but if you are, start weaning yourself off it since the legal drinking age in the USA is 21. I'm pretty sure they don't "grandfather" people from countries where the minimum age is lower

I drink occasionally but not usually. So no need to worry about that lol.

That's about how often I drink as well.

I dont see the point in drinking a crap load so i have a glass everyonce and a while and drink it to enjoy the drink. And ive never been drunk, guess i dont see the point and dont like the feeling of not being fully in control of myself

Smart young woman! I could never see it either. If you don't remember last night, how do you know you had fun?

The big joke between my prior doctor (before I moved) and me was the question about alcohol consumption at the physical. I'd think for a bit and honestly come up with something like "I had a glass of wine when we had dinner at my in-laws a couple of months ago" or "I had a beer last summer". I gather I am on one end of the spectrum of people that she would ask the question and she saw plenty that were on the other end.

As you get older you will find that life is fine tho at times, quite rich in hardship.

Pulling through the hard times makes the good times all the better. It doesn't feel like it in the hard times but you just gotta keep trucking through.

If you come through Ohio I'd love to show ya around and talk critters. I've got fence to go up.. Ideally it'll be up before fall but.. *ahem* anyways! lol.. I'll be putting breeding groups together in October. And the second weekend in October is the fall festival I take part in with the spinners & weavers guild as well as the historical society. That's lots of fun.
Alternatively, in spring I should be lambing in March and in May the last weekend is a fiber show (quite a bit north of me) and there is a sheep show and sale. Lots of sheep breeders. I usually camp there for the weekend.
