If youre destined for the basement life, live it. Dont let these haters take away what joy you can find during this painful life we are all forced into.
Just be sure to do what you can to take care of yourself.
Look up body weight exercises you can do inside without equipment. And you dont even have to set aside time if you do them while you're waiting for something. Microwaving food? 4 minutes of push-ups or planks. Got a few minutes while your game loads or something? Stretch. Little things can add up.
If you you drink or take drugs, make sure you drink your homework water and to give yourself time to recover before partying more.
Dont wanna diet? Fine, but make one meal healthy like a salad or oatmeal so your chimkin nuggies pass through your body within a week.
Or don't. Its your life. Youre in charge. Do whatever
Very good advice! I have a tendency to be a shut in and during the covid-19 pandemic it was at an all time high. I learned that my mental wellbeing is helped if I sort of divvy up my living space into areas where certain things are done and others are not. Eating in one place, games in another, sleep in another, etc. Just in case that is applicable and/or helpful to anyone.
