Jamie Lee Andrews -- Finally Leaving the Internet
22nd October 2008.
Today is the day I finally after about 9 years stand up and leave the internet & go outside to get some Sunlight, some Exercise, some Fun which isn’t generated by a computer system.
Even though it’ll be hard as hell to put myself up to going outside and mixing with people, it’s time I grew up and stopped being a silly little child sitting in the corner of my bedroom all day long 24/7.
I may just be stalling on going Offline writing this note, but I just want to let people know the reasons why I’m leaving.
The first reason being that I received a letter the other day from my local Doctors surgery saying that my Central Nervous System has been damaged by my eyes hurting from staring at the computer screen, and that it’ll continue to go on unless I stop staring at the computer screen and get some Vitamins into me.
This is a whole change of life for me, one that I think is good, but at the same time a bad one, because of my life being computers.
But if I don’t balance reality & virtual-reality, I’ll end up getting even more sick than I am at the moment, as the letter explained; I could end up going into Hospital and being fed by tubes -- I don’t want that at all, I want to be healthy and grow up to see how much fun life is, from what friends have told me.
Even though I don’t WANT to, it appears I HAVE to in-order for me to get healthy.
I love the computer & internet more than anyone could ever imagine, here I am free to do what I want, I can say what I like, I can finally make a name for myself, but unfortunately, health doesn’t exist on computers, it exists outside where all the vitamins are.
Ever since I was like 3 I have had a problem with eating, and I had to get a nutritionist to come in and try to sort me out when I was about 6 until I was 10, they ended up giving up with me because I just refuses everything and never took any of their advice. After that I was given drinks to have, prescribed only ones; Ensure Plus -- So delicious & healthy at the same time, but doctors said it wasn’t enough and I couldn’t only just live on health drinks, so they banned me from getting them.
I have tried, believe me, I have tried to eat, even my primary School teachers tried to get me to eat when they weren’t teaching (In breaks & at the end of School), but it was just too much for me and I couldn’t bring myself to eat anything.
To be honest, I was much healthier when I was younger and when I was going to School, because I actually went outside and played with my best friends in the playgrounds at School -- However, since then I’ve only grown worse because of the amount of vitamins I’ve not taken.
So now it’s finally the time for me to go and fix myself up and get some of that sun, probably even start going out to the beach again. Heck, maybe I’ll even get a fun job in the daytime and make some money and meet new people at the same time.
The only thing is, most jobs require Education thingies, but I left School when I was 11, became Home Educated where I was taught all I needed to know by my computer, but that’s not enough for job recruiters, they want test results and stuff…
So maybe I might go to College, even though I’m too scared to do so… But, we will see…
