    becoming the "boring" friend and feeling whole and at peace. giving myself a pat on the back with this video because I am truly coming into my own and settling into a routine that feels authentic and good for my soul, my body, and my mind. it allows me to push myself, grow, and take care of myself while also giving me space to lean into quiet and simplicity in the little nyc life. i couldn't be more excited for spring and warmer weather, more runs (hopefully not in the rain) and central park hangouts 💗

    Over the past couple years I’ve also become the ‘boring friend’. But honestly, I’m redefining what friendships mean to me and I’ve been loving how my life is not determined by constant chaos 😅😅

    I'm glad you talked about the importance of weight training for women! More women need to realize how beneficial and important it is. Love seeing you in your fit girl/disciplined era Alia 💪 I'm definitely the "boring friend" too and that's totally OK ❤

    • @DoeRaeMe

    It’s something about being in the gym lifting heavy, like 70 lbs farmers carry, 90 lbs plus deadlifts, and flipping those large tires! So empowering and it personally builds my mental confidence

    How great your life is!! Doing what you want and just all of them. Even if the weather is not great today, tomorrow will be a better day. I become a person who like to stay alone more than before. To be honest, I couldn’t imagine this kind of feeling in the past, but I really find how relax it is. Wish all people can live in their lovely life

    I came across your content since I was moving to Seattle from New York City, and now I watch your content from Seattle and I'm able to see New York City stay the same and change too (there's so many different coffee shops, ha.). Well, I lived in your NYC area for a decade (graduate school and work) - I'm familiar with the restaurants, grocery stores, parks (Elizabeth garden was my go to for Friday evening book reading), waterfronts, and even the Blink gym in your video. Ha. Best with your marathon, and enjoy NYC.

    I use the spirilina powder in smoothies! Works perfect. I normally do the combo blueberries, banana, strawberries, 1/2 orange , spinach. It normally gets grey and looks like concrete. But I think it's tasty. I also have som fiber in it like flaxseeds. (But just have like maximum 2 small teaspoons) 😊😊

    I've slowly started becoming the 'boring' friend, and there's not much going on in my life - at first, that kind of hurt because it felt like i was missing out but i think i've come to terms with it and look at it in a positive life, there's not much chaos or drama and i have a lot of time that i put into my hobbies and mental health instead :)
