A few weeks ago I wrote a post about my pimple problem. At the time I felt it was necessary because this blog seemed like the only place where I could share my problems. Because lets be frank, if I told anyone else I would just have the same shitty response of "don't worry about it, you look fine. Just be yourself."
So at that point I decided to do something about it. Arming myself with a water bottle, I marched downstairs, with my target being to acquire water to drink and I planned to drink a lot of it. It was a habit I enforced each day, I would wake up, go downstairs and drink some water. During the day, I brought a chunky water bottle and drank it. In the evening, well, I drunk it whenever I could.
I'm not sure up till this day what it has done to me, maybe it hasn't changed one bit. But it's the fact that I drink water thinking my acne will go away which has probably made it fade a bit more. Like seriously, some mental shit right here. So I continued with this new found awesome feeling I had, hoping it would finally put me in the path of recovery. I changed everything I would normally do, I walked to school everyday, ate fruit and veg and meats only (apparently carbohydrates make acne worse). So the routines continued and I am proud to say my condition is finally getting better.
So, if you have acne learn from this. If you don't (feel blessed), there is still a lesson you can take away. Firstly is that when you find that drive of momentum, grasp it. Because it's the one thing that propels us to do something new. It's great because it's spontaneous. I really hate those who plan every inch of detail before setting out to do something, when they have jumped right into it and corrected their mistakes in the process. So whenever I think of anything now, I go forward and do it and it feels awesome.
