Gym rat

School has started and the work is piling uppppp. On top of school, I am juggling teaching tuition, part time internships and writing as a freelancer. This is definitely the first time I am trying to manage so many things at one go.

Definitely feeling the stress, but somehow I feel super motivated and satisfied at the end of every day. The days are passing so quickly but every single day is well spent completing all I need to do.


The only me time I have right now is gymming. Yes, you heard that right haha. People will probably think I am crazy, with the little time I have for myself I could spend it on better things like watching a movie or catching up with friends. But to me, ever since I jumped onto the gymming bandwagon 5 years ago, I never really stopped and looked back. I think I have been pretty consistent in these years. And I can only think of one reason why: passion. I think passion for what I'm doing keeps me going. I truly enjoy gymming every single time and never really found it a chore.


To me, its all about pushing myself to the limits. The human body works in amazing ways and these few years have been a truly eye opening experience for me. From being obese my whole life, to becoming anorexic, to becoming a binge eater, to a gym addict now. My body has gone through extreme changes throughout the years. There were many tears shed, and the past few years have probably been the worst years of my life.


Yet I want to look at it positively. The past few years have thought me to cherish myself more, and through that I found my true passion and strive to keep improving and going on. My mental strength is definitely stronger now than it has ever been, and now I never ever give up no matter how many times I fail.


I have been progressing, and I really look forward to coming back to this post a few months down, and smiling and giving myself a pat on the back for pushing on, for fighting for what I truly want, and achieving it.
