Clutch issues
Ive searched and there wasnt anything about this sort of issue. I found alot of clutch bracket threads but nothing like my issues.
Now ever since i bought the car, the clutch was insanely stiff. I actually got used to it and prefer it over a soft clutch. Today i go start up my car and i press the clutch and it feels like butter. It felt really soft so im like WTF. I checked the brackets and everything is fine. I go to the gym and when i leave the gym its back to normal and stiff again.
Its defninitely not me being used to the stiff clutch... it REALLY felt alot softer.
Any inputs ? Anything i should fix ?

Sounds like you need a clutch line bleed.
Same thing as bleeding the brake lines. Could have bubbles working around in the line, which can change their effect dynamically.
It's the easy and simple solution. The clutch itself wouldn't change like that unless something broke, and then it would only change in 1 direction, not 2.
The last possibility is that your clutch master cylinder is failing.
