The world is stepping into the whirlwind of chaos, absurdity, and mundaneness. Where it seems ok to spend sleepless nights, eat junk food and spend irregular hours on things that are just mere escape from reality. Don’t let this pattern rule you but invent some principles for yourself. You have to start eating healthy, as it will help you to feel better in every sense of the word.
