today was rainy. I walked in it without cover (maybe 3kms all up) & for literally the first time in my life, it didn't bother me at all. I kinda liked it.

I hope the only thing I ever remember about us is that coconut, milo & coffee ice cream mixed with ferrero, nuts & maltesers is an insanely good combination (& we weren't).

A Letter To My Future (362 Days) Self

Dear Cas,  I’m your 362 day future self - reason being 362 days instead as 366 is because you kept to your true Stevenson style by running a little late to the party. I’m writing this letter to you to let you know where you are with your life by the end of 2016... and I’ll rip out the bad news early, but unfortunately, you decided to ignore your uni acceptance letter and didn’t decide to go back. Why? You were still unmotivated and you were scared.  Anyways, onto the better things... you finished your certs (fucking finally). This really shouldn’t have taken as long as your undergrad would’ve taken and shouldn’t have cost you as much as it did because you kept paying for extensions (!!!) haha nevertheless, you finished and I guess you finished as a true underachieving overachiever. After your certs, you went and did your crossfit course and you’re currently hoping to do your oly lifting course too! So that’s one of your resolutions crossed off. 

At the start of the year, you made your resolution to be that 2016 WOULD be the year where you reach your goals and you better yourself to the person you used to be. That means you made waste of all the cells in your body that were self-absorbed, spiteful, jealous and comparative to others. You then became humble, grateful, encouraging and self-accepting.  With your new self, your creative side came back. You began writing again - e.g. this letter. You wrote a gratitude in your diary every day and wrote a focus every time you found something you wanted to strengthen yourself in. You found more time for yourself, for your learning and for your growth. Ted Talks got a bit boring, but you picked up on your reading more. You’ve missed prose and found some really good writers.  Your “me-time” led you back into finding time to enjoy the things you used to LOVE but stopped doing! Like going to coffee alone - you know that coffee shop beside Yoghurt with Friends that you said you’d go to for two years but ‘never found time to’, well you finally went! And you went to a billion other places too because... You finally got your license! You faked a few hours but lel whatever. You paid for your first few lessons, then you pushed James to get his blacks and he started teaching you - not much at all but enough. You got a car loan out - you wanted a big Jeep Cherokee but made the more sensible decision.  You also got a loan out for your teeth - finally! It actually happened at the start of the year so now your camera roll is filled with confident full smile selfies! And with the smile, came the body! It’s not entirely the body you want because you’re still built but it’s the body you earned so you’re more than proud. You still have your muscles but that overcoat of fat has dropped. With your BF% at 12.7 at the start of the year, you’ve managed to maintain around 10% (these were scale measurements, not the dex-scan though). Your focus was to manage your eating without necessarily dieting and to just eat more nutritionally... you even started getting up early enough to make the friday fruit markets and having kale smoothie bowls afterwards.  The new year came with a new job, then mid-year came with your career. You started at North Gong, and you’re not there anymore because you started group training which is obviously what we decided we’d love to do, but you still work a bar every now and again because it’s good cash and it’s a bit more of a social life for you. With your career underway, you started saving for that home loan; though it’s rather slow ‘cause you booked your first self-expensed holiday! Yep, you did it - you’re visiting William for his 3rd birthday!  2016 was your year girl. You chased and you caught everything you wanted for the year (except for an English Bulldog) - nobody is prouder of you than your future you.  xx
