Youth

Been thinking of shifting out for some time. Rent a room, be at peace with myself. Cooking my own meals quietly and just living myself. It’ll make me happier I’m sure: Just gotta find the right time to go.

I cannot.

How can times can one fall and tumble then get back up? There’s only so much one can take in.

Changes. Positive changes in a long while. Weight. Slowly losing but I am okay. I am not starving nor am I tattered. I am gradually getting there. Career Adapting to 12-hour morning/night shift Overall Crazy busy, but wow, contented.

I’ve been having issues with my weight since maybe around 12? At 12, my routine was using my bus card to buy McDonalds. At 13, I entered a mixed school and was teased for being fat. At 14, I still didn’t understand why I was being teased for being fat. At 15, I wanted to be skinny too and started to run. At 16, I was having so much insecurities I caved in but was average.

However, if I put my effort for something, I won't stop. That's how it's been lately. I've been putting in a lot of effort. The days are becoming shorter and the night gets longer. Am I being greedy for wanting more? Yes. You are no longer enough. You can't make me smile anymore. You start hurting my progress and you're like poison now. You can't be my antidote no more. You have been my greatest regret and it's been damn bitter. You and I had caused so much damage so let's stop this craze. My greatest enemy. It has returned with a menacing smile.
