Moving out made me realize that I was able to do everything while at home because I have my family there. Navigating life independently is tough, even though necessary. Calling my parents everyday is a survival tactic. 😅

Instead of following some process or mechanism, understand the fundamental known principles of whatever you’re dealing with. Case in point: nutrition, exercise, and metabolism. Else, you’re condemned to be swung around whichever way the wind blows.
