- "Are we still human?"
- "[ ] is dangerous to your health"
- Extensive travel and exposure to water and food that we're unused to; pathogens, irritants that we have not yet developed a resistance to
- Extended periods of sitting
- Reliance on computers
- Opportunistic feeding on missions; and reliance on fast serve, oily, high-sugar, high-salt content food that has been questionably prepared
- The job matters. It affects the lives of entire communities, including vulnerable populations + mistakes are costly (human, financial, and reputational costs) = high levels of responsibility, pressure, stress
- lack of sleep
- no set work hours
=
- back pain in my early 30s
- legal blindness and really my eyesight keeps getting wore
- borderline burnout in my early 30s
- panic attacks and crying spells
- asthmatic cough
- fat
- no exercise
- limited social life
- some worrisome executive check-up findings

Sometimes I lose sight of WHY. I know why, but I don't feel it.

- sickness
- hospitalization
- breakdowns
- poor social skills

Who?
Also:
I want to describe myself as friendly, but I think I'm a mix of shy and opinionated. Also, because I usually can't afford to waste any time, I'm straightforward.
Please be forewarned. ^^
- Most entries are friend-locked.
- Random thoughts, updates.
- Opinions.
- Stuff that catches my interest (or, erm, captures my heart)
- Low on drama, especially the entries written after I hit my 30's. :p
- Anywhere. I go around a lot and, honestly, I'm tired most of the time
- Sporadically, when I feel like writing.
