@SW-User Sometimes we’d play cards but we mostly stayed outside on the farm. The stars were beautiful in the pitch black without the light pollution from town. I miss that.

@JustGoneNow you are so lucky to have had that!! My family would go to my grandparents small farm and have a blast. They didn't have animals though. But, we swam in the creek , shot bow and arrows, and played baseball! ☺
@SW-User I had a great childhood and lived a charm life in general until adult onset of severe mental illness destroyed my entire life and broke me into a shell of what I once was. Sure, I had tragedy but you easily push through when you are mentally and emotionally strong. I really miss the girl I used to be.

@JustGoneNow I know how you feel!! Trust me on that. When I moved an hour away from my family for a job that I thought I would love. It became my nightmare. I began drinking constantly and then I had a huge mental illness break me. I wanted to die and I attempted suicide on many occasions. I was back and forth to the hospital for rehab. A psych doc finally diagnosed me. I was all alone. I had no one at that point but myself.
