Trending @Accenture; Don't keep anything for the future. It arrived very early for me 💔
10 years ago, I was 17. I wasn't even of a legal age to drink. I went to college, was an amazing time.
Always felt young, being an adult was always for the future. I could enjoy, I could party, I could be a little silly.
Even the last 3 years at Accenture, I know I have much more to do in my career, need to earn a lot more and pay off my loans. But it never felt urgent, it always felt that the future holds better.
In the last 6 months, got hit by 2 health news. First, realized by blood pressure is high. And then, 2 months ago, got diagnosed with diabetes (it's fucking random, I'm not overweight, and nobody in my family has it).
Now I can barely enjoy a night out. Alcohol is a no-no. Desserts is a no-no. Everything healthy. In 6 months, I went from being 27 to being 40 years of age (mentally).
I look at life more seriously now. I'm lucky it's only diabetes, it can always be worse. But this is me shedding my childhood. Maturity has set in.
My life isn't 4 years away in a better job. It's today, it's now, in what I am doing. And I have to change things today.
Happy friday, fellow people 🫡
Blood pressure and diabetes is reversible if you manage it properly so just be healthy for 1 year and you can enjoy it as well.
These both are lifestyle diseases. You can get these both under control and enjoy occasional drinking. Anyways long term drinking and consuming white sugar is harmful so it’s good that this restricts you to indulge regularly.
Also I don’t relate to the concept of party if you want to enjoy. There are so many things to enjoy and feel happy.
You need to relax and live a little.
