Being perfectly healthy boils down to rawdogging life without any relief or fun from this dystopian world. I'm aware lots of the habits I have are dangerous long term. But sorry, I am not planning on being alive long enough to see myself fighting for clean water or watching the world burn from climate change. Which is why I hate the "war on drugs" too. Tired of the government telling me what I'm allowed to do with my own body when all I want is something to let me forget how my life fucking sucks or is going to suck in the future.
Anecdotally, my mom rawdogged life like that. One of the straightest people I have ever known. Still died from thyroid cancer at 59. Iโll take my chances and have fun.
