That is a bit of a clickbait title there, I'm sorry, I'm not sick or anything like that, just a little weakling. I used to never be sick, I never felt hunger or weakness of the body. I might look fragile but I was very resilient, no broken bones, no back problems, and no headaches or temper tantrums because of lack of sleep and food.
It’s a different story these days.
I think my body was on high alert for years and running on mainly adrenaline. I am afraid I might have used up all those reserves because I feel a lot weaker these days than I have ever before. My mother used to wonder what me and my sister run on, just fumes or like we say in Finland “on holy spirit”. And I guess that is what we did. I used to just snack something and sleep at odd times, usually a few hours at a time, and I felt fine even if I went a few days without really eating much of anything. I used to work for 8(or more) hours straight on manual labour without even once sitting down, and I was fine.
I am shocked that I need water, sleep and food regularly, like what the fuck is this shit, this is all new to me.
I'm still getting the hang of this full time Steemian life, and the fact that I am mostly my own master, and I don't have to feel stressed all the time. Even though the crypto currency world is highly volatile and unpredictable, I don't feel as nearly as stressed when I used to when having a regular job. I think my body has realised it doesn't have to perform some miracles anymore and thus, I have to take better care of it to make it work for me.
Even when I sleep a good eight hours, and have proper meals, it only takes a couple of hours when I feel hungry again. This is bullshit. We hang out and travel with quit a lot and she has noticed my weakening stage and often has a chocolate bar for me in her bag, or asks me if I remembered to pack sweets and water with me so I won’t start getting temper tantrums. Yes, I am a three-year-old these days…
