I have not been scammed so far, but that is because my parents take care of the finance stuff.
I am kind of scared of what will happen after they die though, as i am very naive. |

| You may never feel ready, and that is not a bad thing. I know for sure that i don't want to bring a child to the world, add in the fact that i might have an autistic child too since my autism is hereditary. |

Sleep problems affect so much of the body and your emotions. |
