Im not sure why I never made this into a regular tumblr where you reblog random dog videos and the occasional political opinion, I’ve always felt like this was a rather personal form of communication, the platform where I could just come to and write whatever, whenever I havent been posting much in a while, probably because I’ve always told myself this blog was fitness related, but what does one do when things change? When its no longer just fitness that occupies your mind? When you realize there’s more to life than just your physical appearance? I remember writing a post about how I was working out not for health benefits (because, who the heck thinks about their health when they’re 18), but to be friggin hot - well, guess what, now Im one of the people who are actually more concerned about their health than the number on the scale or how many abs are visible that day.. I guess your body has to really shut down on you once for you to understand that you dont need to put it under the stress of 2 hrs of cardio a day till you knees give in and squatting as heavy as you can till your back breaks down. It’s unnecessary. I guess we grow, and we change. It only means we’re still alive and kicking. ✌️

It’s been so long since I’ve felt sheer happiness, its like everything is starting to fall into place after years of trying to fit pieces into the wrong spots in the puzzle.

Packing up our life into little cardboard boxes, evaluating the things we have, getting rid of things that no longer make us feel something

I see why moving is stressful

I look back at posts I’ve posted here 9 years ago - I’ve evolved so much. Like a friggin’ Digimon.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

Ive been wearing some form of makeup since I was 13, and this is the first month I felt confident enough to walk around bare faced and embrace my "flaws" Its funny how things work, but the more you resist and try to cover things up, the more you hate and catastrophize them, but when you just let go of them and accept yourself for who you are, actually realize the fact that your body is a work of art carefully crafted by natural selection, you start appreciating your youth, the tiny perks and special gifts your parents gave you, and you being unique on this earth, with no one walking around with a genetic code identical to yours, so you better not let down that incredible body of yours by beating it down with negativity

Embrace natural beauty 🖖 screw beauty standards

Psychology & philosophy are fascinating, and frankly, Im pissed at having to choose one direction in life and do just that when there’s so many interesting you could learn
