I can say that at times I thought that I was addicted to this game, I could sit and play for hours, I could not eat not drink, and I even forgot to go to the shower! But now I try to play in moderation, no more than three hours a day. My friend recently sent me one interesting
minecraft skyblock servers and I again began to spend too much time on the network, it seems to me that this is not very good. I hope I manage to pass one difficulty level and I will play less time
My friend, enjoy it while you can as much as you want. Unless you have other things to do and gaming is stopping you from finishing your obligations. Otherwise just play and enjoy if it makes you happy. You're not wasting time if you're having fun. Whether it's games, movies, TV shows, youtube, social media or reading books.. It doesn't matter, it's all the same type of activity when it comes to your body and eyes. At least you're not spending hours on facebook and instagram looking at other people's dinners, like many other people do. Or reading random stupid articles about some unknown amateur female tennis player marrying an unknown rich businessman on some tropical island. Or watching Prince Henry's wedding ceremony lol.. Or taking a quiz: ''Tell us your fast food preference, and we'll tell you your age!''
Just have fun, enjoy and play! Take some breaks in between and stretch, take care of your health as well. And don't burn out, keep it fun and don't get tired of the game.
I used to play Minecraft as well, i've put many hours into it. I hated it at first, i thought the game was too childish and i felt too old to play it. I just wanted to shoot some guns in Call of Duty and stuff.. But my friend forced me to try Miencraft, i smoked a joint and started building a house, then i fell in love with the game. It's extremely relaxing and therapeutic, even trippy at moments. And i made awesome memories with friends from all over the world, i had some of the best laughs during that period.
Then i also started taking breaks because i played for too long, and that kinda ruined the fun for me. Eventually as we grew older, friends stopped playing it, so did i. And everytime we made a deal to play it again, something came up to prevent it. Either someone was busy, or one of us stopped playing MC altogether, or we had problems with the server, or hackers griefing etc.
And now it's been hard to find a good normal survival server, and finding new players to play with is difficult. I miss the friends i played with, they were my age and we had our own thing going. Now when i join a server there's a bunch of underage kids and i feel like a creeper and a weirdo. Especially if someone invites me to Discord, heeeelll naaaah...
Point of my story is cherish your moments and play as much as you like while you can, have fun with your friends because one day you'll remember these memories and wish you played more!
