Hi Eliana, the main setback that I mentioned was the death of my beloved cat.  As for the friends thing, I had an incident happen to me in jr. high that turned me into a loner for a long time.  I got some psychological issues straightened out last year and finally stopped pushing people away.  Now that I’m starting to come out of the loner phase I’m at a loss on how to get started again.  I live in a small town right now so there’s nowhere to really go except one bar, and those aren’t places to meet real friends if you ask me.  And I do love animals.  I feed the neighborhood “critters” along with my currently 7 cats.  I have raccoons, opossums, skunks, and I had an armadillo come up one night.  I had a skunk stick around so long and get so tame that when the food bowl was empty, he would scratch on the patio door.  Then he would back up a few feet, I’d fill the food bowl back up, and he’d come back to continue eating.

Actually, gardening isn’t really my thing. My habitat consists more of wild animals that I’ve kind of tamed. Thats why I highly doubt I could take them with me. My past is a whole issue in itself, but I’ll get into that later.
