I've been so hooked up with a mobile phone since I was in high school, and my addiction grew strong when I first had my colored screen phone in 2009. Since then, I couldn't stop using my phone as I was addicted to airG, a chatting platform where you can chat with random people and play virtual games at the same time.

From owning my first colored screen phone, I also managed to buy my first touch screen a few years later, which gave me more reason to stay up late. In short, I abused my eyes way too long, and no wonder why I suffered severe headaches recently and that my eyeballs were fucked up every time I tried to move them in different directions.

In 2019, when I resigned from my previous job, that was when everything was getting worst. I slept late. I barely even sleep. I spent hours and hours for work, then spent more hours staring at my mobile phone, and recently, more reasons to stay up late because of NFTs. In the past two years, I was too focused on earning money, earning more BCH for my goals, and sell more NFTs that I forgot to take care of my health.

But things have changed when my eyes and head started to hurt big time. I was super worried that I might die early because of some brain damage due to too much abuse. So just recently, I decided to stop abusing myself and made a promise to prioritize my health this time. This is why I was inactive recently on read because I wanted to limit my virtual experience and sleep as early as 9 pm.

I want to earn money and grow my BCH but if I get sick and who knows what's gonna happen when that time happens, my earnings will become useless. I might just end up using my savings for either medical bills or worst, for my last day on Earth. Lol. So these past few days, I am so proud to inform you that I go to bed as early as 9 and no phone when already in bed.

I know money is important but no amount of money can beat the importance of health. As they say, health is wealth. And wealth is pretty useless if you start to have health issues, so while everything is still okay for me, I need to also prioritize myself. I can still earn and do what I love but in moderation. No more phone or computer after 9 pm and definitely no checking on screens before 6 am.

If I have BCH goals, I also need to have health goals. I can't afford to get seriously ill at this age. I know I've been exposed to radiation since I was probably 14 years old or two-decades-long, but it's never too late to start anew. I just hope I'm not too late though.

Closing thoughts

Value your health as much as you value your BCH. It's okay to aim more, but never take your health for granted. It should be your topmost priority in life. Your savings will be useless if you get seriously sick or die early. Lastly, it's better to earn slowly than to die in just a snap.
