I'm finally back!!

It's been ages since the last time I wrote something here. To be more precise, my last post was in March of 2023. A lot has happened since then — some good, some not so much — but today I felt like coming back to share something.

I've always been a skinny guy for as long as I can remember. The kind of skinny that draws attention — the kind that people feel the need to comment on. I'd constantly hear things like "You need to eat more" or "Wow, you're disappearing." I get that some of those comments were well-intentioned, but others were just plain mean.

At school, even though I was bullied for my thin frame , I pretended not to care. But the truth is, I cared way more than I ever admitted.

As time went on, I started developing serious self-esteem issues. I didn't like looking at myself in the mirror. I felt weak, small, invisible. And the worst part? I believed every word people said. For years, I tried to ignore it — putting other priorities first, telling myself it was silly to care about my body. But the truth is, it was always there. Like a quiet burden I had to carry alone.

At the start of the year, something in me changed. I got tired of feeling bad about myself. I decided it was time to change things. I started going to the gym, eating better, and taking better of my body. And well...I've gained a little over 22 pounds so far (around 10kg). It may not seem like much to some, but for me, it's a big achievement. And this is just the beginning.

I feel physically stronger and more confident. I'm not going to lie — some days are tough. But today, when look at myself in the mirror, I see the progress I've made.

That's it. Thank you for reading and see you soon!
