all things
I quit smoking yesterday. Gains of giving up outweigh the 'pleasures' of having a smoke with my coffee. According to various sources, my body needs 48 to 72 hours to remove all the remnants of nicotine from my bloodstream, hence the withdrawal symptoms, I am experiencing. I am dreading going back to Poland. I feel so nervous around my family that I always end up having a ciggarette. But this time I'll keep myself occupied with my books.
I also took up fitness training again. And Pilates. Lost a bit of weight - not a lot, because there wasn't a lot to start with but I like the way my muscles got defined under my skin.
I read at least an hour a day - mostly critical sources for my MA - and write comments on them. I want a distinction.
Why? Why not. Why not. Life is worth living with a purpose. And the purpose is knowledge. And self-improvement. And I deserve better. And I don't want to keep hurting myself anymore. I don't want to look back. I want to look forward, but mostly, I want to savour the moment.
