For me... I am not gonna give my travelling. And by travelling I don't mean organized tours in nice hotels with food. I mean "let's buy a ticket and maybe book a hostel and than see what is gonna happen..." disorganized "globe trotting" which involves a lot of nights on trains or buses (so there goes the sleep routine), various hostels (again... try to get "regular" sleep there... plus... it is hard to resist drinking with the world and to the world there), not eating too much (either because it is too hot... or because the food is too expensive. Or because that icecream I had in trevi gelateria was so rich I am not hungry anymore, so I am gonna pretend it was lunch). It is stressful and intense.

I admit, I do crash regularly when I come from my travels. I sleep too much, eat too much and tend to dip very low as all the adrenaline burns off. It takes days, maybe even few weeks to get back to my normal self.

Yet, I am just not ready to give it up. Not now, not ever. This is what makes Venus... Venus. I guess...Quod Me Nutrit, Me Destruit...

There are various smaller quirks I intend to keep (okay I need coffee to get up from my bed in the morning, don't be telling me to give it up. Or try to live for a day with Venus who did not have her coffee...), but those are by no means as serious to me.

what about you? What "unhealthy" habits do you want to keep even if you wanna get better?

Venus;
I say go for it...all the traveling.......sounds like a great life...eventually you'll probably stop and be one of the boring people on the planet but for now because you are young that is the perfect lifestyle for you. You are brave to do this. I personally think its great!!! I am so jealous!!!

I want to get better, but I don't want to give up knowing the extremes in mood that so vividly paint my world. I don't want to have to live in a grey or pastel coloured world I don't know if it is even possible to have both.

I won't give up my passions. There are some that advocate a life with as little stress as possible, and I say, give me the stress if that's what it takes to reach my dreams, but life isn't worth living if I have to give up what makes me me.

I'll never give up my devotion to helping people. I love to help people, even if it makes me suffer a little.
Thanks for this!
