Last night I kept staring at the charts until after 3, and the steamed bun was sprawled on my leg, snoring—at least it slept soundly. Today, the moment I opened my eyes, I felt my lower back and shoulders stiff as if made of iron. I pushed through and went to the gym to lift some weights. Once I finally started sweating, I felt like I’d come back to life. While stretching after my workout, it suddenly clicked: the numbers in my wallet and the muscle definition on my body—both have to be ground out day by day. You can’t rush it. Now I’m slumped on the couch, and I have to say this kind of pain that’s also kind of exhilarating is strangely addictive. Tomorrow, again.💪#周三健人 #living-alone-daily-life
