Do you remember this character I talked to you about? She was quite nice, huh? Well, she's not always been that nice. She used to be very irritable when things didn't turn out the way she wanted. Now she's learnt that she can't get all she wants and she just has to deal with it and learn from it so the next time she works harder and gets what she wants. That was a very tough lesson for her to learn, but now she feels much better overall, there's a lot less drama in her life and a lot more time relaxing and enjoying things.
The last few days have been quite hard for her. Lately, and for some reason, she's been forced to put aside her training. There were a few celebrations, she was in places where she could not exercise and could only eat crap, etc. Now she feels so out of shape, but she has such a willpower this won't be a problem at all. One step back, two steps forward. Yes, this was maybe 5 steps back but then it means 10 steps forward! That's her, being as optimistic as always. And for a reason. She always gets what she wants, because she doesn't mind working hard and sacrificing certain things to reach her goals.
Some people think she's some kind of an over achiever or something, but actually she works just as hard to help other people reach their goals.
For the next few weeks she'll have to work extra hard. It's the warmest season of the year, people are crowding the beaches of the island to celebrate the end of the year. She wants to join them, she wants to go swimming in the sea, but she has to work and she has to study for her finals. So that's going to be hard, but obviously she can do it. She's proved before she can do all that and keep a smile on her face.
She also wants to get ready for the next season, coming up in 7/8 weeks. She needs to be ready if she wants to have a good performance!
She's not worried about finding time to fit in her training and her studying. She's always been good at time management, and she uses exercise to evade for a while from the books. It keeps her focused and energized. Also, since she loves so much both things, it's very unlikely she'll give up on any of them.
I know, I know she hasn't got a name... no, don't add *yet*. She's in her 20s. It's just that in this island nobody has names, they call each other with a different word depending on the time of the day, if the weather is good, if you're wearing a certain colour, etc. So maybe I can ask her if she can pick a name so it's easier for us, but that'll probably be an awkward thing to ask for her.
