I am 24, and as most of you know soon to be studying to be a chef. Not doing a great deal 'til then, just chillin' while I can....and REALLY looking foward to starting my course.
I'd consider my life pretty "normal", at this point at least.
I drink caffeine, but I'm actively trying to cut down...I, like many others have a coca-cola addiction, I also drink GOOD coffee, and tea...at this point, every second hot beverage I have is green tea, for health reasons, and to lower the overall caffeine intake.
I have "felt" depressed before, sometimes to the point of a few days, mainly when I have a bad day, and start really looking at how fucked up humanity at large is...but usually it's something I get over on my own, and it never effects me much more than feeling lethargic, and not talking a whole lot...I've not medicated because of this.
In fact, I stay away from the majority of medications, and would not take antibiotics unless I'd be dying otherwise. My immune system is pretty kick-ass.
I don't particularly like alcohol, and drink maybe 4-5 times a year, aside from the occasional red wine with food, as I've heard from reliable sources that the antioxidant concentration in red wine can reduce risk of heart conditions developing post 40.
Other than that, it's the "occasions" really...birthdays and the like, and the rare "lets get drunk" night, which I usually regret.
IMO, alcohol is fucking evil, and has lead to the degeneration of many a once good person.
I smoke weed. Not really frequently at this point, I'm trying to get in the right frame of mind to take this study thing seriously. I don't really consider it an addiction, as I've always moderated to the point that I can easily get through my time without it. My liver isn't in the best condition, another reason I've cut down significantly.
I've not been mugged.
It's been attempted, but this was a pretty stupid idea on their part. They got hurt, their friend that tried to help them, got hurt. I guess you'd have to see me to know, but I'm not the size a SMART person would really wanna fuck with.
I have been involved in fights in a "troublesome" stage I went through...the result of one was my dissmissal from high school, and the start of a very bad path, that luckily enough, I have since corrected.
I don't particularly fear crime or assault...however hate the thought that there's many scumbag motherfuckers out there that live to prey on the innocent. Where I live (Sydney,Australia), these things are not a big problem...at least not to the extent that I've heard about in other countries, I fear for many a friend.
I must say, that when I hear about some other places, I am very happy that where I live is so serene by comparison.
