Help.

Also I took a lot o xxanx last night bc I was having panic attacks. From there I donโ€™t remember what happened. I think I started drinking as well

Is this a sign of a problem? Overdosing on Xanax is dangerous. You think you were drinking, or you were drinking? If you've got a problem with alcohol you should not keep it in your house.

Please be safe.

I feel bad and I want to try and make her feel better. On the other hand I donโ€™t want contact with him. I was thinking of responding but address the girl.

I think you should not respond, but if you feel that you must, keep it brief. Just apologize, then stop.

Help.

He's asking you to stop and you've already stopped last week. I think you are only embarrassed to have been caught. It's not going to change your actions.

Love never goes away, but it will change in time, when you're ready. Let yourself mourn the loss him, and let him move on.

So I've started writing a new thing...

Frozen embryos would be feasible the not too distant future. Frozen human embryos have been grown in a woman years later, and I saw an article recently about a sheep being grown in an artificial womb. Maybe cattle aren't feasible, but certainly chickens, fish, maybe even goats - small livestock. I think live aquaculture (even on a spaceship) would work in conjunction with hydroponic gardening.

And lab grown meat is also very feasible in the not too distant future. In Asimov's Foundation series, the people ate a "meat" which was processed from yeast, though mushrooms could be the base just as easily, depending on available growing conditions.

Well... seasons are determined by axial tilt. If the tilt were similar to earth(23degrees), it would go from blazing heat to winter every few days...

I'm thinking of making it closer to that of venus (2degrees) where the seasons would be minimal.

Minimal seasons would result in either very, very regular weather patterns, or possibly no changes in weather at all. But unless it's relevant to the story, I don't think it matters. I assume they grow food. Growing season would be perpetual, except some earth plants might need adjustments - for example the seeds of some berries need to be frozen, many plants growth is connected to particular day length or sun angle, and so on. All of this could be taken care of in greenhouses.

Did they bring livestock, or are they vegetarian?

Well I like it. Good start.

But of the names suggested, I like Proxans.

That's how you tell a colony planet versus a native lifeform planet - the creative names. I think that everywhere in the universe where life evolved/was created, the planet will be called some variation of "dirt" or "water". The planets that have been colonized will have names that appeal to their settlers.

First several generations would think of themselves as earthlings still, or maybe colonists. Later they might adopt the name of their home as part of their identity.

Sounds like an interesting start. I agree that the history needs a little work. It comes off awkward. Maybe it should either be covered later in the story, or should be in a prologue?

Also, before the announcement, the passengers were unable to see the planet? Didn't know they were in orbit around the star? Was there a grand unveiling consisting of opening the viewing window, or had nobody looked up?

thought it was funny and awesome at the same time..

Funny. My little daughter liked it, except the kissing part. She said "yuck" to that.
