Dear Lord,
Thank you for always guiding me through the good and difficult times, for giving me the motivation or for simply showing me the light to remind me the purpose in the experiences I have everyday.

I pray that you will continue to do so for my future growth and journey, and I hope that the path I take will be with you,
Amen.

I can say that I'm moving closer to God, although I may not notice it at times, I know that in the small joys and triumphs in my life recently, he has been there to guide me.

As I take each step towards my own goals, self-love and improvement, I know I'll get closer to God by doing so as well.

My workload and academic requirements never seem to pause, and because of this I work on them everyday all the way through the weekends without at least one full day of rest. It messes up my schedule (sleep, self-care, exercise, etc.) especially when I'm stressed. This leads me to feeling useless and monotonous :((

I found time to catch up with my best friend again! We didn't get to talk much after my move to Shanghai and it's been that way since, all until online class when we had more time to spend and catch up with each other. I'm beyond grateful that I'm speaking with her regularly now, and that we can enjoy our favorite things (bts <3) together again!

Being away from my closest friends during this time not only made me distance myself physically, but emotionally as well. I've now gotten used to spending majority of my time alone and sometimes not getting back to my friends, which although doesn't feel bad to me at the time, is quite alarming now that I think about it.

To improve the way I view myself and my body, along with my unhealthy perception of dieting and fitness, I decided to go on a fitness journey last august and have been continuing it up to now! (this pic is the influencer i follow for workouts! :D)

My body insecurities became overwhelming especially during quarantine, where I had a lot of extra time just scrolling through social media and comparing myself to the models and influencers i'd see on my instagram feed. This made me feel down and very unmotivated
