Asterisk

I'm sure we've all been at that state where we don't know what to do with ourselves at least once in our lives.

Shoutout to all those people who already know what to do with their lives at my age though, or even before that. At least you already have an idea of what you want, and where you want to go.

As for me? I used to feel like I had absolutely no idea where to go… What I envisioned for myself and such. One of the reasons was that I always put other people to the forefront of my mind in the things I did, making them the ultimate goal. But in time it often resulted in me leaving my own goals abandoned, and me even losing my own vision and original drive in the process.

Then I eventually decided to become selfish, just as I was supposed to, and finally pursue my own personal goals--and hopefully my dreams--for a change. Now I know what I want, what I want to do… And what I'm going to do to get it. It feels so liberating to know I finally have some sort of direction with myself and I am well on my way there.

Encouragement

"…They're just sit ups."

Two words.

Heavy breathing.

Weight Loss Partners

"As the physical manifestation of your conscience and out of sheer goodwill, I'm rather obligated to--by all means--prevent your consumption of food items rich in saccharine by consuming them myself."

"But you're on a diet too!"

"Yes, but which one of us has lost more weight this week?"

"…You did."

"See? I'm such a nice friend. You should be grateful."

As I said prior, I've been on a weight loss challenge with a friend. It's been very effective thus far (my weight has gone down by 7 lbs. as of this writing), and while initially difficult to adjust to, I've finally gotten used to eating more like a goat. I've also managed to have some self-control with what I eat most of the time, though I still get cravings every now and then.

This ink is dedicated to my weight loss partner, who has become a very good friend of mine over the last few weeks. Who'd have thought we'd both be so similar either? Couldn't have made the journey without starting it off with her, and I'm very glad to have done it with her of all people as well.

Also, she really needs to keep her sweet tooth in check. But then again, deep down I'm sure she's secretly grateful for all the motivating pictures of sweets and candies I send straight into her chat box.
