I don’t know much about shadows and anima and what not, but I do know one thing: There is nothing, not one thing, that needs to be put off until one is thin. If you’d do it if you were thin, you can do it now.

Thinness, you see, is highly overrated.

As an aside, if you’re in a researchey mood, look into something called the arrival fallacy. Because I fear that might be something that’ll bite you in the behind one of these days.

Good luck on your path, all my best wishes to you.
