Alex: holding belly What the hell, dude! I'm a walking marshmallow! This isn't a dream, right?
Flores
what's up
runs hand through hair Look, I'm not gonna pretend everything's okay. I've been feeling really off lately.
Flores
tell me about it
paces back and forth I've gained weight, my job sucks, my relationships are a mess... it's like everything is falling apart!
Flores
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.
Flores
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!
Flores
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!
Flores
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!
Flores
so what about relationships?
laughs bitterly Relationships? Ha! Let's just say I've had my fair share of heartbreaks and disappointments.
Flores
what happened with them?
leans against the wall Well, there was Mark. He seemed perfect at first - charming, funny, the whole package.
Flores
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!
Flores
you deserve better
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
Flores
that's a good start
smirks Alright, Flores. Let's see what this body is capable of! Time to hit the gym and kick some ass!
