two separate convos i had today in the gym, but the same theme:
🤝
both groups of friends asked separately about my routine and how long i had been training, i replied “about 7.5 years” - when they heard it and looked shocked , i said “it’s okay time will pass anyway- may as well start”
💪🏼
but actually looking through when i really started? it’s about 9 years… 
🙂‍↕️
i’d gotten so used to downplaying my own progress because i was never where i ideally wanted to be- (still not there) but wouldn’t younger me be so proud of me now? i’m only here because he decided to start and keep going, despite the laughs, the teasing and the “you gym meh?”
🤷🏻‍♀️
i tell everyone i’ve been through every body type and i never realised it was a testament to consistency- even when i faced injury, falling off, gaining weight, losing it, injury again, running between wanting to bulk or cut and despite it all: still choosing to push because i deserve the best and i was crazy enough to keep going. 
🖤
thanks younger me- i’ve made so many gym friends during our pursuit of excellence🫂🤠 taken in Singapore by @just_8dan

what. a. week. this week was much more restful, but also a reminder that the day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit. truly truly a big hug to younger me- thank you for not giving up. thankful to @fortitudeassurancemgmt for adopting this young stressball and teaching him how to navigate life- but most importantly: how to be a person.
🙆🏽
my clients- i made you a promise when i first started out that i’d work hard to do you proud. this task is not a one off, this is a continuous promise i look to fulfil year on year. sharper, higher, better. i love you all- thank you for the time and trust♥️🥹
✨
less memes this week, i really prioritised rest so much more and i’d like to say i’m proud that this stupid tamagotchi (me) hasn’t had a recovery in the red this week-
🍾
i do foresee the next week potentially in the red tho BUT here’s to more life. please don’t take any day for granted, laugh louder and as always- I HOPE SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENS TO YOU NEXT WEEK!!!✅🤠 taken in Singapore by @just_8dan

Came for business. Left with something far more valuable.

Some of the most meaningful connections in life are the ones you never planned for. You cross paths as strangers, share moments, exchange stories, and suddenly realize you’ve met people who will remain part of your journey long after the trip is over.

Business may bring us to places, but it’s the people who make those places unforgettable.

The greatest opportunities aren’t always the ones you came looking for. Sometimes, they’re the people you never expected to meet.

From strangers to friends. From Singapore to wherever life takes us next. 🤝

the universe has been very kind to me this week. from an encounter with a cool stranger in a lift on a monday, the rest of the week unfolded beautifully- with chaos, laughter and more cool friends!
♥️
genuinely met so many funny and kind people and i just think every season has something to teach you. new chapter, new goals- alignment to a vision and looking for all the evidence that we’re gonna be juuuuust fine ;)
🔁
put your fav songs on repeat, stop questioning so much and let yourself feel once in awhile damn~

thankful to my brothers who give me lighter perspectives

unpacking. unlearning. understanding. 

positivity finds me even when i don’t want it to- i’m highly favoured♥️🙏🏼

choose your path, make good with the trade offs and be as happy as you can in the meantime. 

what should’ve been a wholesome lunch:

fitting into smol spaces and running into old friends!

谢谢你姐姐🫣

gym legend awake to seize the day whilst i unpack my own thoughts:

a rather introspective week, realising how vital curiosity and cognitive flexibility are to me, meeting people where they are and observing the world more objectively.
🔁
everything is data and what you do with it- make sure you’re not auditioning for a role- just be you and appreciate people who watch your back. please please go for more experiences that enrich too and remember not everything needs to be evaluated against!
♥️
don’t move out of fear, do it  because you need to. momentum, momentum, momentum!

learn to ask for help when you need it. don’t forget you can - and that you absolutely should. no shame in not having it figured out yet. remember to keep giving yourself the grace you give others -

should put into practice:

we’re all tryna figure it out- don’t sweat the small stuff in the meantime. 

ask me to show you memes or music and i’ll make sure you’re feeling better in 10 

don’t forget to tell your friends you love them too-

if this helps anyone- don’t obsess over the scale number- look and feel >>>
