Today is Saturday, which I love the most in the week, because I can sleep more, work less and every hour in a day is just for myself.


Since Sai Gon started the quarantine (around 3 months ago), I also have worked a lot, for 10 – 12 hours a day on average. I know my health isn’t good and I have overworked for a long time but I was still stubborn. And then, this week I got the consequence.


Like all the times I got sick before, I usually told myself that “It’s okay, this is the last time I exhaust my health”, “I have to change my routine, eat healthily, work out everyday and sleep early”, etc. But, time and time again I still make the same mistake.


Today is the breaking point, I got hurt both physically and mentally and… I cried. I feel alone, miss my family, miss the time I can go out and buy everything I want to eat, etc. And I miss when I wasn’t sick. Am I selfish? When I am well, I work whenever and wherever from the morning to the late night. When my health strikes, I just get medicines and hope to get well soon to get back to work.


This week, everyone in Vietnam gets 4 days off for National Day, these days I have just stopped working altogether and I have time to think about the period when I got sick in the beginning of this year like this time. Back then, I also told myself that I had to change but… I failed. But anyway, I have already realized my fault, taken the lessons and experience for myself. And at this moment, I just want to try to change myself again like a man who coached me told me that when we had good health, we could do everything we wanted, he advised me to take small steps everyday and great success would come.
