1/10 Edited to

... Read moreLooking back at my childhood, I can’t help but laugh at the no eyebrow era I went through. It’s funny how something as small as missing eyebrows can feel like such a big deal when you’re young. At that time, I had no idea how to properly care for or even notice my eyebrows, which led to some unintentional funny looks and plenty of teasing from friends and family. One of the most memorable moments was when I tried to draw on my eyebrows with whatever pen was nearby, hoping no one would notice. Spoiler: they did notice, and it wasn’t pretty. But that creative attempt was a childhood milestone for me—a first step toward understanding personal grooming and self-expression. Many people go through phases like this, especially during childhood when self-awareness is still developing. Whether it’s a bad haircut, mismatched clothes, or missing eyebrows, these moments shape our confidence and teach us the value of self-acceptance and humor. If you’ve ever had an awkward beauty moment, you’re not alone. Sharing these stories can help us embrace our imperfections and remind us that everyone grows through such experiences. Plus, they make great memories that bring laughter even years later. So, if you ever stumble upon an old photo of yourself with a unique look, cherish it. It’s a snapshot of where you started and how far you’ve come, with all the funny and imperfect moments included.

The wrong question to be asking more experienced lifters or people with nice physiques is “What is your workout routine?” Or “What do you do on leg/arm/back/(whatever) days?” This is because you will be met with a lot of redundancy. Most people actually do the same exact handful of “basic” worko
