I recently posted a photo on my Instagram with a long caption about my top 3 self-care tips. While writing, I found myself trying to keep it short and simple so that it wasn't a long block of text— spoiler alert: it still ended up being VERY long. It was then I realised I still have so much to say so I decided to expound on each point and turn it into a series over here! So here it goes:

Hey it's me again on the same BS: but this time with a slightly different angle. For the past couple of years, I've had this urge to create something but I wasn't sure what. If you check my two previous posts, you'll see I attempted a couple times to come back to this blog but I didn't know what to post.

Then slowly, things started to come together. This year, I started listening to body positivity podcasts, reading books, and discovering encouraging content on pages I found on Instagram, going to therapy, and I'm actually going to be in a Zoom talk about body positivity in February! It was then I realised that I feel so passionate about this topic and that I want to put everything I learned somewhere.

An entry from my journal. It's been a few months since I've been back here, but I'd been playing around with the idea for a while. Today I wanted to share an experience but not on Instagram because I didn't want to sound like a broken record. So putting it here for me, or whoever comes across this. (The photo above is a self-timer pic because I felt fat wearing that top with those low shorts, and I wanted to see if I looked fat. Ended up being too blurry to tell)

Enjoy my hastily-made progress photos (Disclaimer: I’m flexing in all 3 pics 🤙🏽)

I've struggled with my appearance for as long as I can remember. I've compared myself to literally any girl I possibly could, basing my self-worth on my weight and waistline. I've wasted so many years disliking my body and myself, but I'm working on it.

In 2015 I reached a breaking point where I was tired of being so big and decided to take my diet and exercise more seriously. I did the research, tested what worked for me, and now ???(I'm bad at math) years later I'm the leanest and healthiest I've ever been. I've been managing to keep my self-esteem in check, but sometimes it just takes seeing a girl with a super nice body that I wish I had to start putting myself down for not looking like her.

I've been wanting to come back to this blog for a while now but I didn't know what to write about. My life has been (comfortably) uninteresting but I've had the urge to write SOMETHING for about a year now.

I know I wanted it to be of some sort of use to people. No more spewing shit about how "terrible" my life was at 20 years old— newsflash 2016 Sabina: your life wasn't over 25-yr-old you is doing just fine.

With semesters and school holidays dividing my years in segments, life was more predictable in a sense that my yearly goals consisted of things like "pass this class" "get this grade" or "travel here during this holiday." 2017 is the first time my year and my plans weren't structured around school or graduating, and accordingly so, despite the heartache and hurdles that welcomed me, I'm so glad to say I'm ending the year a different and happier person than when it began.

After what felt like an eternity of waiting (and an unbelievable amount of patience) , I can finally see the end of my time in my Japan in the horizon... But I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be. I'm around 3 weeks away from starting the beginning of the semester and it was only today I realised I'm actually gonna miss Tokyo, that son of a bitch.
