I remember feeling so weary and bored at age 19. My solution was to marry which was typical back then. I hardly knew the man- it was based on college weekends and our backgrounds were completely different. Anyway, life gets so much better.// Parents can say/do very damagaing things but can be overcome.//I think faith and luck are different. Then there's false hope which is another form of denial- the last item in Pandora's Box as the gods were afraid mankind would committ mass suicide!!!
