Day 6

The fast is going surprisingly well.
meat? smells good, but it's okay. i'm fine thank you.
snacks? takes all the willpower in the world especially when i get the munchies after meals. terrible, terrible cases of the munchies.
but somehow even the snacks sitting there, waiting to tempt me, aren't that appealing.
except for those days.
where all i want to do is have a massive cone of ice-cream or an iced chocolate.
let me not be reminded that this is merely the 6th day -_-"

and speaking of which,
it's still really early on, but i'd made a few interesting discoveries along the way.

honestly, going into it, i never really knew the real reason for fasting.
i just knew i felt compelled to do it.
like there was something in me urging me to go through it; experience it.
but now, i do know why i'm doing it; what for and how much breaking it with the smallest sliver of almond, the tiniest piece of cake in the world is actually saying about myself.
the little things that speak volumes; they are absolutely significant.
never really had any expectations coming into the fast, so i guess in that way i am an empty canvas getting excited over every little splatter of paint. which is pretty cool.
so, yes, i'm looking forward to see what gems i'd collect over the next 34 days and counting.
optimism.
i hope it lasts.
