I had a coworker approach me on break and start telling me about a book he was reading and how much he was enjoying it. Towards the end, he mentioned struggling with it and that he wished someone had told him how great reading was earlier. We were both damn near 30, and it was a YA novel. I resisted the asshole urge to roast him because, shit, at least he’s trying?
He is an obese man in the gym. Literally nothing more admirable than someone improving themselves.

Exactly! And not just doing it, but sticking to it AND vulnerably admitting to struggling.

If only more people could do it.
