update.

There's not much to talk about except my period decided to show up yesterday unexpectedly after my leg day. I was really annoyed, I was soooo exhausted that I took a 4 hours nap and I am still exhausted today... during my period I am always tired. It was so hard waking up this morning, last night I slept like a baby! I love sleeping but I hate feeling sleepy during the day especially when I know I slept enough.

I finished a book on monday and started a new one already, I am reading the powerless series and I am obssesed!

2 of my favorite movies that I didn’t mention are how to train your dragon and tangled!

how to train your dragon #1 has my heart! The last one broke my heart but the Christmas special episodes mend it! Seeing toothless with his family and his little ones made me so happy!

Toothless and light fury look adorable I mean look at them!

Toothless looks and acts sooo much like a cat and not so much like a dragon! That’s why I love him so much he’s sooo adorable!

Ugh seeing his little face and hearing him purr makes me so happy! But don’t get it twisted he is very powerful and dangerous probably the most dangerous dragons in the movie!

the other movie that I love so much is tangled!

Sure you could say it’s another princess locked in a tower waiting to be rescued! Except she grabbed the chance by its throat and beat it with a pan lol I mean literally

She made him take her to see the flying lanterns and he could not refused. The whole movie is funny! Witty I mean the horse stole the show!

Maximus the horse will always have my heart! I love him so much!

quote from the book I am reading "

I ponder this. “Is it easier for you? If I do not struggle?”

“Infinitely.”

“Then it is decided.” My gaze lifts to the stars above. “I will go gently. For you.”

When my eyes finally fall back on Death, I almost don’t believe what I’m seeing.

She is smiling.

letter to anyone who feels like they have to change to get what they want:

Dear reader,

You are wonderfully made, anyone would be lucky to have you by their side but sadly you weren't made fore everyone and that's okay. Don't make yourself small in order to be liked, don't hide who you are for anyone's approval. Be yourself no matter where you are, stand in your truth and embrace your flaws because all of those things make you who you are. Never shrink yourself to be more digestible, respectfully let them choke, the right people will find you. If you love something, love it proudly. You are allowed to love, you are allowed to feel, you are allowed to have what you want. Be unapologetic about your existence, never apologize for existing. God created you and he knew someone like you needed to be alive. Be gentle, be kind and be sympathetic towards others.

Sincerely,

your favorite writer :)

The bad bunny halftime performance was amazing last night! I rewatched it 3 times already today! it was that good. I don't care about the American Football the only football I know is what's also known as soccer. I love bad Bunny, I think he's soooo cute! he looks shy, introverted but he knows how to party and his voice is beautiful and powerful.

It was Benito bowl night.

To alter my body shape I do a lot of things among training 6 days a week and 1.30hr to 2 hours daily; I eat the same meals and eat the same breakfast for months!

Boring yeah I know. I eat beef and rice, ground beef macaroni, chicken breast, eggs, cheese, potatoes… I wasn’t blessed with a booty. I was born slim, I had to build my butt from scratch. By training and eating meals loaded with proteins. I am proud of myself and for all the progress that I have made. I don’t compare myself to anybody else because some women were born with a big booty and some worked for it. I worked hard for mine, I built my legs, my curves and my butt. I am proud of myself.

how to make reading more fun:

the reality is I am no longer a bookworm! my attention span sucks because of my phone. But I can get back to my roots because I have been reading longer than I have been scrolling on social media. In 2014 I read around 100 books! I can get back to my roots, it might take me a while before I get back to where I was but I am willing to try. when I read a book my brain is more productive and when I scroll on social media I feel sluggish and unproductive.

here are few things I am going to try to make my reading sessions more fun:

read 10 pages a day (start slow) I will use bookmarks to mark the ten pages and that will be on my to do list for the day.
have a comfort blanket, when I am reading.
have my favorite tea which are chamomile, peppermint and ginger tea.
I need quiet and a warm area to read...
repeat all of these to get my brain used to the reptation
pick books that I am genuinely interested it. I love romance so I can read those (appropriate ones) I recommend books by Lauren Roberts she writes romantic books without all the sex stuff. The men are gentle, respectful and dedicated to their love interest. right now I am reading fearful in the series.

anti-depressant vs exercising

Publié par Gaelle.R 6 Février 2026 à 03:20 PM

I am very transparent about my usage of anti depressant, I don't think it is shameful at all if anything I think it's brave of me to want to live and not off myself. I started taking meds for my mental health in 2021, at first I was scared and I expressed all of my concerns to my Doctor. He didn't want to prescribe anything at first because he knew I always said no in the past, so he wanted to know what changed? I explained to him what my situation was at the time and we both agreed I should give it a try. I also explained to him that I was trying to lose weight and I didn't want any meds with weight gain as a side effects... so we both agreed on one option and it worked. At first my sleep was non-existent and as my body took time to adjust I felt better and better...now I can no longer cry oh well.

To be honest with you I wish I tried exercising first before deciding to take anti depressant medication because exercising releases about the same hormones as an anti-depressant. They both release endorphins which are happy hormones back in your brain. In 2021 I was very anxious not just depressed but extremely pessimistic with recurring bad thoughts, I was miserable essentially. I thought about working out and I tried a few gyms but anxiety got the best of me. One time in 2021 I walked into a gym started walking on the treadmill for about 3 minutes and had a panic attack because I thought everyone was starting at me so I ran out of that gym (people were probably thinking what's wrong with her?!)

My advise to you is if you are depressed, before taking an anti depressant try exercising, try having a hobby I know it's hard considering you probably hate everything and you might not seem to find any pleasure in the things you used to love...look I have been there but:

try taking a walk outside especially in the summer because the sunlight will do you good. walk for 5 minutes and then increase it each time. Find a nice park or a cute neighborhood, park your car and start walking... breathe and just stop thinking about anything that makes you anxious or sad. Look around you, admire the flowers, smile at stranger (who cares if they don't smile back, smile anyway) smiling will trick your brain into thinking you're happy even if you're not.
try lifting weights at they gym, start slow you don't have to lift the heaviest weight. (try that for 10 minutes and then increase it each time)
run. if you don't enjoy running try walking, but running is amazing for people with depression. If you run for only 10 minutes you will see an improvement in your mental health and you will feel happier. You don't have to run for a long time, but if you feel like you can keep running longer then keep going.
try a new hobby. it doesn't even have to be a big thing, as long as it makes you feel good. It could be collecting rocks, vintage clothing or art, vinyl disk (that was a hobby I had in 2021 and it made me so happy collecting vinyl disk from my favorite artist and playing them on my record player like an old lady lol) don't let anyone makes you feel bad about your hobby if that's what you like then proudly do it.
socialize, it can be with 1 person or two but yes talk to a few people. You don't have to confide in them if you don't want to but go watch a movie with them, go out to eat with them and take walks with them eventually you will want to share your thoughts and that's good too.
change your diet: eat whole foods, cook and stay away from processed foods and fast foods. A bad diet makes you feel sluggish, less productive and you have less energy. When you eat healthy foods you will feel more energized and less tired, so now you'll have more energy to do productive activities.
limit screen time: avoid mindless scrolling, when you use social media less you will focus more on what's in front of you and on the people around you. Living in the moment will bring you more joy than scrolling on social media. social media releases quick and cheap dopamine in your brain just like fast food does, but that feeling doesn't last long so you will find yourself going back again for more pleasure

all of those thing are great but if you do all of these things and still feel depressed then maybe give anti depressant a try.

beware

Publié par Gaelle.R 5 Février 2026 à 07:30 PM

Beware of any connection that happens quick because those connections tend to burn out fast and disappear. I am not someone who has a lot of good friends it's always one or two and those people are really close to me. I have my fair share of failed friendship past hurt from people I thought were going to always be there.

I don't like girl friendships, it always end bad. It always feels like a competition! like why? it's like who can get a boyfriend? who can dress better? who's prettier? who can dance better? who has a better body? I love having pretty friends. If I am friends with you it's because I think you're really pretty inside and out, I would never want you to change! I love you for you, but why are you competing with me?
