What a dilemma!
I've been keeping this blog live for a really long time even though I stopped posting, because... life happened. But after several diagnoses, and having my eyes opened about what nutrition and health "science" are really about, the joke of wasting my time reading research papers (where for every research study's "conclusion" that matches your real life experience, there are 2 that "conclude" the exact opposite, and the piles upon piles of fabricated papers to serve agendas are endless), I realized, that this niche is no longer for me. So I'm no longer certain I want to keep this blog. I certainly don't have as much time anymore anyways with all the goals I've started pursuing.
Don't get me wrong. I still believe our number one priority should be our health first and foremost, and I still love calisthenics and building muscle and endurance and eating healthy. But how can I talk about a subject where not even PhD holders have any clue about? How can I provide "proof" of my real life experiences, and cite sources, when I no longer believe anything that's written by these "scientists" anymore? How can I confidently say to you "this is what worked for me", when a pandemic is enough to turn some medicine (and all plant-based foods) into poison?
What works for me is not guaranteed to work for someone else, and what worked today is not guaranteed to continue working tomorrow. And every single medicine, routine, treatment can have its downsides, side effects and even long term risks, some of them completely unknown, even in 2025.
This alone gives fuel to keyboard warriors. So now your personal experience, however volatile but real life experience always is, it is subject to criticism and pointless arguments.
And I'm just getting too old, wise and tired to deal with any of this crap.
And speaking of crap... Good grief. After 2 decades, I'm still dealing with the same stalkers and the same old childish harrassment online!
I don't even remember what they look like anymore, but they sure have enough time on their hands to stalk me and everything I do online, trying to get into my accounts, and send me some very colorful insulting messages, asking me and my husband to go to hell (somehow, they always forget about the children lol.)
Now obviously if you spend all your time watching what other people do in their lives instead of living your own, and telling people for absolutely no good reason in the middle of the night, to go to hell, instead of getting some good sleep, well, that means you're already in hell yourself, aren't you? So why on earth would you ask me to join you lol? Why can't I be left alone?
In fact, let me end this post with a little advice:
Find your purpose. Contribute to society. And start learning... about everything! Keep your mind occupied with something useful for a change. So many free resources online! Here, let me share some ideas:
- Khan Academy
- Science and math lectures on YouTube by Michel van Biezen in bite size videos
- Career skills with EdX or Coursera
- free textbooks from Rice University
- learn a new language
- go back to school
- get a job
- start a family
And most importantly, forget me and leave me the hell alone. Because the only thing you're accomplishing here, is torturing yourself and wasting the little time you have left on this planet. Surely there are better ways to live. Goodbye.
