Spent all night bothering men and telling women they looked hot in their new years fits. 9/10 i just wish I danced to a little more techno

It’s also possible people quit by March because they’ve tried it and don’t like it. That’s fine! Good try!
But may I humbly suggest: change the kinds of things you are doing in the gym before leaving entirely. You have options and you might just not like what you try first.

It may also help to treat January as a fun tutorial time where you try new things and meet people - a gym routine is so much more doable if you enjoy what you’re doing and have social connections there. Being stressed about maximizing your first sessions will only make you less likely to keep going

I ran out of space to make that more nuanced but (2) is more of a suggestion than a command. I just get sad when the crowds of folks we see in January all disappear by March, and I suspect that all-or-nothing thinking plays a huge part

Which is to say if you don’t do well st first you’re not broken and also it might not even mean anything long term. Do shit that makes you happy in the meantime and see how it shakes out

I adore living alone. It will be weird at first and that’s okay and normal. I was weirdly paranoid about like, house fires and break-ins for the first month. And then i realized i love it and i’m totally comfortable in my space.

Yeah for me this is the gym but that’s obviously gonna look different for orher folks

I want to talk about how cool exercise is and how beneficial it has been for me and what it could do for you! I don’t think you’re a bad person if you don’t exercise! But it does feel like the implication is always there in the background, doesn’t it!

Sure hope it does!

That part stays annoying, sorry. I mostly just spam my long-distance friends with discord messages every time I have a thought.

I’m so sorry dude. I hope you’re doing okay under the circumstances. Let me know if you need an extra pair of ears to rant to or whatever else <3
