Mr. Chi's series of unfortunate events

As the saying goes, minor illnesses are blessings, but in fact it is only self-comforting, and it must not be taken seriously. Sometimes, unfortunately, you encounter some very common conditions, which will not be fatal, and there is no particularly fast cure. Wait for your body to recover slowly.

After looking forward to it for half a year, I finally took a few days off this week. The first night of the holiday was to attend a party, delicious food and wine. After talking about the world, it actually caused stomach discomfort. Various scheduled holiday activities could not be carried out as planned, and I was in a state of lack of energy these days. Maybe it's because the illness is too severe, and it's really mentally unbalanced. I wanted to buy a few days of free time to relax, but the pain is tossing and turning every day.

This series of unfortunate incidents made me understand that some things in life have quotas. When I was young, I could drink and eat meat freely, and I would not change my face all night long. But after a certain stage, drinking is limited to one drink, and eating too much is not allowed. After ten o’clock, you will not be in good spirits. Even if you don’t get sick, going out for a night of entertainment will often bring you several days of mental depression, which is actually not worth it. It is said that the body is very honest, and such a direct response probably shows that the quota for these activities has almost been used up, and once it is overdrawn, there will be consequences.

When you are sick, it is especially easy to realize what it means to be suffering, and you will stop in moderation in the future. It took a lot of hard work to look forward to a few days of vacation. I never thought that apart from reluctantly typing a few short essays on the keyboard, most of the time I could only lie in bed to recuperate. That kind of psychological blow is actually more sad than the pain.

Of course, he admires those people who still eat, drink, and socialize tirelessly at their age. He always feels that they are not only paying for time, but also other unexpected consequences, which he may not and will not face. Every day on social media, group photos of people who are full and drunk are posted, which not only reflects the sense of existence, but also becomes a ritual. But few people follow up and report the consequences of eating too much or drinking too much, making everyone misunderstand each other's bodies without limits. Of course this is not the case, but this society usually only pays attention to the beautiful side. Who and who is sick and suffering is only a personal problem. The details of life are so trivial that no one wants to know.
