@evan-hinkle Hello thank you for the detailed reply. I do agree with your point about me trying to control things. For me, that focus feels necessary for a fulfilling life
especially regarding peating and health, where it's about limiting the harmful elements (PUFAs, heavy metals, microplastics, EMFs, etc) and embracing the good elements, all while keeping future goals in mind.
That said, I genuinely enjoy soccer a lot. Of course, just like with any game, losing or playing badly isn't enjoyable, but that's part of the experience
