With this weekend’s TCS Waterfront Marathon, my race season comes to a close 🥳 and what a year it’s been.

What began as a simple conversation with a dear friend became a journey that reshaped not only how I train, but how I see myself.

In every rep, every interval, every kilometre, I learned a little more about what it means to show up. To listen to my body, trust it, challenge it, and be grateful for all it can do.

This community has been the heartbeat of it all. The cheers, the laughter, the shared pain, the quiet nods of understanding at the start line, they’ve reminded me that growth doesn’t happen in comfort, but in connection and perseverance.

So here’s my thank you 🍻 to every person in these photos, and every moment that pushed me forward.

I’ve learned to embrace this body for what it is, not just what I want it to be.

And of course.. to remember that sometimes, when it matters most, my stubborn ass just needs to dig a little deeper and keep going 😂💙

Year one ✅ and we only getting started 😈

Growing up in an Asian household, many of us tend to share similar experiences having been raised by immigrant parents in North America. 💭🌎⁣
⁣
One of the reasons we call ourselves “Gwai Jais” 🧧 is because we’re truly grateful for what our parents have gone through to support their families and how much they sacrificed to help give us “our best life” as Asian millennials. 👦🏻 ⁣
⁣
Whenever we got in trouble or needed assistance growing up, they would always be there to support and protect us. 💜⁣
⁣
And for many of us, their “love” was not necessarily communicated verbally or shown through affection, but by always being involved in the decision-making process because they wanted to make sure we didn’t make the “wrong” decision or face any potentially negative consequences. ⁣
⁣
But as we hit different milestones in our lives 🎊 (i.e. university, first job, first relationship, etc.), we began to realize that there were many things happening in our lives where we had to start thinking for ourselves… 🤷🏻‍♂️⁣
⁣
Often times, it was extremely difficult to make these decisions without having our parents “approval”, but we slowly realized that it’s simply part of “adulting”. 💁🏻‍♂️⁣
⁣
And this is especially true as we progress through our 20s and into our 30s 📈 - as our parents grow older, we realized that it’s one thing to be independent from our parents, but an entirely different mindset to flip the accountability, and role, to start helping them out instead, and taking care of them as they progress through their years. 👵🏻👴🏻⁣
⁣
For some of us, it even includes being the future go-to individual who will need to be the primary support for our parents because we “are the oldest son” in the household. 🧧⁣
⁣
Regardless, like everything else in life, this is a constant journey, and we aim to continue to overcome these challenges in our lives to grow into the best versions of ourselves that we can be. #DearABB #ABBtalk #gwaijai #reflection #ivansdiaries⁣
