Trapped in a room for over 3.5 years

What would you do, if you were trapped in a room for over 3.5 years? What seems like an interesting thought-experiment to some people, is reality to others (me too). 

For about 3.5 years, I have had Long Covid / Post Vac - nobody can tell for sure, but I suspect it’s the vaccine.

My energy (physical and mental) is very limited and I have to plan what I want to do during the day. In terms of physical activities, I can only walk about 1 kilometer on some days. Same goes for my focus, although it’s a little bit better than my physical state.

I barely (with help of some great teachers) finished school (German Abitur) without going to school. I was able to do it with video conferences and had to teach myself some of it.

Also, I had and still have so many different medical treatments (up to 4x a week). I try lots of things. Many, many supplements.

Before my disease, I was very active, doing calisthenics 5-7x a week. 

Now, I am only 20 years old and of course I pictured my life a little bit different. I would love to be able to travel, meet people (very difficult at home), be active and experience life. Right now, it feels like I am only watching, what life could be like. 

I still don’t know how long this disease will last and there are many open questions. I don’t have a job, which I would like to change somehow in the future, because I would like to do something related to Bitcoin and all of these treatments are expensive… 

If you have some ideas, let me know! 😀

Right now, I am focusing on strengthening my knowledge on Bitcoin. Doing various courses (SaylorAcademy), reading books (Broken Money, The Fiat Standard) - btw, never thought I would like to read books one day. And I also listen to every Bitcoin Podcast there is 😀.

To end this read on a good note though, I don’t regret it. I believe that things happen for a reason. Due to this, I developed an open mind. I question way more things (money, gov, political decisions, but also my own actions - time preference) and think on my own. 

Also, I found Bitcoin (faster) because of this, which in itself might give back this “lost” time. NOSTR too.

I’ve also become even stronger mentally. I meditate and am learning more and more to see hope in the future (also because of Bitcoin).

Maybe you can tell, but I am not a very good writer, but I am trying to improve 😀

Have a good one!

Pura Vida!
