walking everyday update

i've now been walking every day for 10 days since i was motivated by a poster on here. this is great. i am now addicted to opening my apple health app every hour so i can see my steps go up :) have also learned to romanticise this shitty tropical weather by thinking of how i can use it as a setting for my future bestselling novel about the trials and tribulations of trying to be a coquette nymph office siren in south india. in the vein of jhumpa lahiri and arundhati roy, except lamer and with worse writing.

it's good even if your surroundings are shitty and ugly. i feel like the human eye is hardwired to look for beauty anywhere. just today i had a coconut water and i looked up at the sky and it was a very lovely shade of blue. shockingly vibrant. and dappled sunlight through the trees. but it's easier to miss when you're in a car.
