My Body is Failing Me

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. 
<br>
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.
<br>

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 @escapist 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… 

# I'm gonna go eat breakfast now, even though I only want coffee, hmph! Good morning anyways!
