Everything Is Everything. What is meant to be, will be. After winter, must come spring. Change, it comes eventually.
It definitely feels like Spring. Sun is out, flowers are blooming, and people are starting to think about hitting the gym for Summer. As much as people talk about how they hate vanity and what’s inside is what really matters, as soon as weather gets warm they start to worry about how they are going to look in the summer. That is definitely the case for me. After sitting indoors and working most of the Winter, I’m starting to think about getting my lard ass in shape. Luckily for me, due to my darker complexion, I don’t have to worry about getting a tan at least. Matter of fact, I try to avoid the sun so I don’t end up looking like some Cambodian rice farmer from country… not that there’s anything wrong with that. Anyways, cheers to the lovely warm weather.
