So when I got back home from Indiana, I started implementing a 1000-1250 calorie diet. For the past few days, I've been lowering my calorie intake so I could lose some weight. I mean, if I wanna perform on stage, I need to shrink my belly, right? But today, just about a few hours ago, I fell into a form of depression because of my lack of motivation to do anything. it was 1am, and I didn't want to go to sleep because I felt "the night was still young". So I talked to my best friend about it, and he told me, "It's probably because even if you're dieting, your calories are just sitting there. You need to burn that energy somehow."
Now, I'm not an exercising person, and the most I did while I was in Indiana was use the weight room. This is mostly because I find it somewhat tedious and...well, I couldn't find any entertainment in it. So while going through some Abingdon Boys School tracks, the Sengoku Basara opening "JAP" plays on my iTunes, and I'm struck with inspiration. It's been a while since I saw the video, so I went on YouTube to see if it was still there. Sure enough...

...it is. This dance played in the background of the first Sengoku Basara opening always stuck to me because of the fact that it had dancing samurais. So I tried to learn the dance a little to kill some time and burn that energy. I had a lot of fun learning the first quarter of the dance, and my depression w/ lack of motivation seemed to fade away. But it was 1:30 by the time I started doing this, so everyone is sleeping, and I was probably making a lot of noise. Thanks to this little form of depression, I found a goal: exercise by learning and practicing this dance.
tl;dr, you find motivation in the strangest of places or situations. Take advantage of every opportunity that comes to you, good or bad. It's just one road to growing up.
