致青涩的我

Been looking through old photos a lot, basking in old but happy memories, taking multiple trips down the memory lane not because I have nothing better to do, but because I just feel like it

They make me smile so much, I'm not sure why nostalgia chooses to hit me at this point. Perhaps it's because subconsciously, I know that a chapter of my life is about to end and a new chapter is about to unfold (honestly I have never really thought of it that way. Really. But yeah. Subconsciousness) and I want to hold on to those memories, the past that shaped me into the person I am today. I don't want to forget who I was and who I am, no matter who I become in the near future.

It's sad that I've drifted apart from some of the people whom I used to be so close to, albeit for a short period of time. But I'll never forget the wonderful times we had together. Thank you for being part of those lovely memories that still tug at my heartstrings and make me smile so widely.

And to my secondary school-early J1 (??) self: I'm sorry for hating you so much. I'm sorry for not being appreciative, always finding fault and overwhelming you with harsh criticism. 如果时光可以倒流，我想对青涩的自己说：其实你笑的时候真的很美。能做最真实的自己就已经足够了。Looking back, I'm glad I found Blogilates & Bubz on YouTube when I was feeling the most vulnerable and insecure about who I am. Cassey taught me that healthy living & regular workouts aren't things that you do for the sake of vanity alone-- it is a lifestyle, a way of living, a way of feeling good. Nowadays, I find more reason to set time aside for working out because it is no longer about the number on the scale. It is about me. My health. My emotions.

Bubz taught me that happiness can be simple. To be kind to yourself and kind to others. To accept and love yourself for who you are, and do the same for people around you.


从”青涩”到"成人“， 从“懵懵懂懂”到“比较懂”，这路上虽然有苦涩，但也有满满的感动与感触…… 不管你是否已经离开、终究会选择远走，或者愿意为我而停留，我都衷心地感谢你曾在我的生命中留下了涟漪。不管是好是坏，一切都已成了过去，还是谢谢你让我长大了。

说了这么多，希望没闷死大家…… 有些话若现在不说，将来也许会淡忘
