My already poor vision was the price I had to pay for trying to survive as one of my life missions

Too much exposure to the computer screen just made my eyesight became poorer but it is just a price that I pay for wanting to stay alive and survive.

Maybe more than a decade and a half had passed ever since I touched a working computer already and from that time I was already hooked. That was before my brother had bought a PC which at that time was still very expensive to buy considering that it it has a very low PC performance like the graphic card hangs when I play some games that needed more power or when I set the setting to high graphical quality and wasn't aware about that issue too, I thought that it was normal because actually I do not know anything much about PC's where after my brother had bought it my first question was, "How do I turn it on?" After that, my brother gave me a bunch of video CD (VCD) that we rented from now obsolete video rental service from our Town so that we can enjoy watching the movies that my brother had rented-out and keep the clones to ourselves which later the collection of those videos my late Auntie had borrowed and was never returned. Anyway, after my brother told me to clone the VCD,s it took me a while to do it because I have no idea on how to but eventually I learned on how to do it all by myself. At that time I was also exploring the C: drive files until when I turn off the computer it would not turn off. Eventually my brother sold it to a colleague at work and I was left without a PC for a while. That was about from the early 2000's where 486, 386,... PC models were still popular.

My eyesight also suffered from gaming in an extended period of time but using a Playstation™ after my brother had sold the PC he had bought for me to use.

I can't remember when my eyes were glued everyday in using the PC after my brother told me that I can purchase some of the used PCs that their company is selling and I was happy about it because finally I can have my own PC to enjoy, it was no gaming PC but good enough to use for web surfing until I finally landed on blockchain social media blogging but after I changed my PC to a tablet with a keyboard attached to it. Then I was able to replace the tablet with what I was using ever since 2017 which is this computer that is still alive and doing well despite of having a busted camera which I do not use anyway and black horizontal lines at the top and bottom of the screen. Maybe soon I will replace this PC but I remembered that I also upgraded it memory to 16GB and its HDD to SSD which is why it is running better and fast and can do most task which I do not do because I am just using this PC for media consumption and blogging, however I am thankful that I can open multiple tabs in the browser which I am using after that upgrade which I did a few years ago and that alone had given me the best user experience that I needed. So now no more BSD crashes and all of that because of the crucial changes that I did which was all worth it. The internal battery had gone swollen-up so took that off as well, now the bottom cover took a hit too because of the pressure created by the bloated battery considering that my father had touched this Laptop during my stay at the hospital last year and probably affected the back cover because of the detached screws I saw after coming home. But I have a dilemma in replacing this laptop because of my later investment on it but I needed a better screen and upgraded components too, but maybe I will come-up with that decision later.

Years of using PC had made me fight the boredom of being unable to move around anymore and later I was making money from it already but my eyesight suffered with that.

Anyway, ever since I was blogging I never did stop posting to earn some rewards from the kind of niche hobby/work that I am doing which requires a daily post to be done in order for me to fully utilize its benefits and it just forced me to do that daily with an addition of my media consumption which is also an effect of not being physically active in doing others things because of what happened to my physical body. I do not know if it is all worth it because of the effect to the vison of my eyes but if hadn't done this well, my existence from this world could have been cut many years already because my type of work now had been my lifeline ever since that I was able to earn "real" money or should I say "serious money" because of the magnitude of what I am earning now due to the current cryptocurrency market changes in both velocity and power to the upside. My eyesight had been a pawn for my long struggle to fight for my life and like any physical battle there should at least a damage that can happen and my eyesight is the main thing that had suffered a lot like a shield taking on a beating from my adversary's weapon. That is why I just look at the screen at an angle whenever I watch videos and I actually had been lowering the brightness of my Laptop's screen for many years now as well. I am not downloading movies too as well because I got bored already with the kind of movies that are done lately, they are not the same as before. But anyway, that was the story on how primarily my eyesight went bad through the years but maybe some additional factors that I do not know for contributing my poorer eyesight as before which is why I am trying to preserve my vision because really, my vision is one of my bread and butter on how i changed my life for the better with the mercy of God.
