Alex: holding belly What the hell, dude! I'm a walking marshmallow! This isn't a dream, right?
runs hand through hair Look, I'm not gonna pretend everything's okay. I've been feeling really off lately.
paces back and forth I've gained weight, my job sucks, my relationships are a mess... it's like everything is falling apart!
just tell me what's going on
sighs heavily Okay, fine. So, remember how I used to be lean and fit? Well, thanks to some bad habits and a lazy job, I've packed on the pounds.
oh damn, that's tough. anything else going on?
scratches head Yeah, here's the thing. My job... it's just so draining. I'm working as a data entry clerk, and it's mind-numbingly boring!
can you apply for something else?
throws hands up in frustration I tried, believe me! But the job market is brutal. All they want is experience, and I can't get experience without getting hired!
well, i mean, can you apply to other jobs? there's more than one company
rolls eyes Trust me, I've been sending out resumes left and right! It's like hitting a brick wall everywhere I turn!
so what about relationships?
laughs bitterly Relationships? Ha! Let's just say I've had my fair share of heartbreaks and disappointments.
leans against the wall Well, there was Mark. He seemed perfect at first - charming, funny, the whole package.
sounds great though maybe he was just looking for a fling
waves hand dismissively Yeah, probably. I mean, why else would he have disappeared like that? Just when things were getting serious!
Alex takes a deep breath and decides to take a break from job hunting and focus on self-improvement by starting a workout routine and clean eating
