I often notice outfits that confuse people at first glance.

Someone wears a down jacket on top, shorts below, flip-flops on bare feet.  Someone wraps themselves up like a rice dumpling in thirty-degree heat.  Someone else walks through winter in a camisole, completely unfazed.

People don’t understand.  Just like how many Asians can never quite understand why Westerners wear T-shirts in the cold and seem perfectly fine.

But honestly, it’s not that complicated.  Every body is different.

Different constitutions, different circulation, different thresholds.  As long as someone doesn’t feel cold or feels it but can handle it that is their balance point.

What’s truly strange isn’t dressing “out of season,”  but forcing yourself to endure discomfort when your body is clearly asking for warmth.

Freezing for appearance.  Enduring pain for style.  Sacrificing comfort just to satisfy other people’s expectations.

We see this everywhere.

Someone with low energy hears that tea is healthy,  and drinks so much they turn into a walking diuretic.  Someone hears nuts are good for the body,  and eats them obsessively until kidney stones appear.

We’re used to listening to methods, theories, and “scientific advice,”  but rarely do we listen to our own bodies.

As long as something is packaged as authority,  we let it override physical feedback.

But the body isn’t a textbook or a laboratory.  It doesn’t obey averages it responds only to you.

Knowing yourself is actually very difficult.  It requires slowing down,  stopping imitation,  and letting go of “everyone else is doing it.”

If you’re willing to pause and truly care for the body that accompanies you for life, to listen to what it’s asking for, you’ll realize you don’t need that many wellness routines sold by capital and trends.

Your body knows best.

Differences aren’t meant for comparison.  They’re meant to be respected.
