hi there - I just wanted to pop by and tell you that I've been noticing your posts and am really glad you're here. Sounds like you're young, but you're engaged and invested in your world and that really impresses me - not enough young people are. I wasn't either when I was young lol. Sounds like you're coming through some tough times - also sounds like you're savvy enough to keep coming through 'em til they're behind you. Hang in there. You might have to scrounge through the muck a bit to find the good things, but they're there. Really.
