From App to Abs
It all started with a lazy afternoon, one of those moments where you know you should be doing something productive, but you’re glued to your couch, scrolling aimlessly through your phone. That was me, stuck in a cycle of "I’ll start tomorrow" when it came to working out. I had always wanted to get in shape, shed a few pounds, maybe even build some muscle, but the gym just wasn’t my scene. There’s something intimidating about those walls lined with mirrors and the constant hum of machines. It felt like everyone there already knew exactly what they were doing, while I was left wondering where to even begin. But what if I could change that? What if I didn’t need a gym to make progress? That’s when I stumbled upon the app that changed everything.

The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance
The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance It takes years to build your trust but it takes a moment, a simple rustle of words through the air, a singular action that dwindles the faith we have in someone. Life has always had its flair of shedding and unwavering our realities with the ones we need to embrace, of robbing us of the sturdy land of certainty and plopping us into the ocean of the unknown, stumbling us into the blatant truth of existential being, making us learning the lessons the hard way. While we may fight it or fight through it, at its dimwits we ought to accept the gospel truth, nothing stays the same. Every breath we draw, every tear that we shed, and every smile we dance with, is permanent in its impermanence, it is so immortal and yet so fleeting. Though time and tide wait for no one, the imprints of our joy and melancholy, the life that we lead through the memories that we create through experiencing our mortality for the first and the last time, become infinite savouries and scars that we hold on to, that change us and shape the way we lead ourselves and charge through the world.
