Not about a beautiful body or perfect abs, although, of course, it’s nice to look at yourself in the mirror and enjoy the reflection. It’s about the feeling of control over yourself, when all the chaos inside and around you seems so huge that you want to hide under the blanket. 🖤 Fitness has become exactly this for me — a small battle that I win with myself, and not with some beauty standards.

I used to think that relationships would solve all problems. Love, attention, care — and everything will become easy. 💔 But in fact, it’s when no one holds your hand that you understand that real support should be inside you. And here fitness, strangely, but yes, it helps. Every run, every workout is a way to tell myself: “I can, I can do it, I’m here and I’m worthy.” 💪

Sometimes I catch myself thinking that this is selfish. I run in the morning, I try to eat normally, I take care of myself. But where is the love for others? But then I realize: if you yourself are not okay, no relationship will save you. And, honestly, it’s a little cruel, but that’s how life works. 🌪

And yes, I’m still single. Sometimes it seems like loneliness is a curse, but more often it’s a lesson. Fitness has become my little ritual, my philosophy, my anchor. And maybe this is what will one day attract someone who will appreciate not only my external form, but also my internal strength. 💖

So, yes, every girl needs fitness. But not so that someone will say “wow,” but so that she can whisper to herself: “I can. I am worthy. I am strong.” And maybe this is the only love with which it is not scary to be alone. ✨
