You think you care about price swings until something actually important happens to you...

On Monday I lost my best friend of 13 Years. My dog died. After coming home I looked at my portfolio, mostly out of habit, and saw the price tumble. I didn't care. On Thursday my portfolio went down even more. I still didn't care. I would give all of my crypto away in an instant to get my friend back. Perspective is a powerful thing. I spent a substantial sum of money on medical care for my dog in the last months and didn't even blink an eye. I am in a privileged position and don't struggle with food security, housing or health care and I understood that, in the end of the day, everything else is just extra. Don't let a number on a screen occupy your mind for longer than a second! It is not worth it. In the end of the day it is not important, even if it sometimes feels like the most important thing at the moment. submitted by /u/Kontikulus [link] [comments]
