Why not? I bet you look very good dressed up :] *you might attach an image here if you want hehehe :>*

Maybe, but I still don't really enjoy dressing up. It just feels a bit too formal and not very "me".

The only somewhat fitting picture I have is fresh out of the shower, wearing suit trousers and the undershirt I was going to wear under a nice button-up shirt afterwards, so it's more "halfway to dressed up" than actually dressed up.

Do you like to wear nice clothes?

Nice as in comfortable, well-made clothes that feel good to wear? Yes, definitely.

Nice as in elegant clothes, suits, formal outfits and all that? Not really. I do have to wear that kind of thing sometimes, and I don't mind it when necessary, but dressing up isn't something I especially enjoy.

Morning

I did not ask the morning in, it entered like a thief and laid its little golden hand upon my private grief.

I had been absent for an hour, or centuries, perhaps. The dark had folded up my name and kept it in its lap.

But day, too honest to be kind, returned me to my breath, as if the heart were not a door that sometimes longs for death.

Mma is just a barbaric sport for stupid brutes and it shows what kind of person you are .. didn't think that low of you but guess there's always some red flags with dudes lol

Wait till you hear about my dating history before calling MMA the red flag.

You said your forearms are bigger than your upper arm? Neeh that is hardly possible or? I mean biologically speaking? O.o

I believe I mentioned that they're either getting bigger or, relatively speaking, already appear more developed, since the upper arms are naturally bigger than the forearms to begin with.

I'm not quite sure what to tell you, so I searched for a photo. Of course, the upper arms aren't flexed here, whereas the forearms are, but I think that, due to the sports I do, a slight imbalance has developed between the two; which was the point I wanted to make with my original remark that you mentioned.

Do you track calories? Would you recommend it if I want to lose weight? :>

I do track calories and macros, yes. I've been doing it for years at this point.

It's definitely not something you need to do to lose weight, but it can be really beneficial, especially in the beginning. When you're just starting out, there's often a lot of uncertainty around how many calories are in certain foods and what your actual daily energy needs look like.

Tracking helps build that awareness. It gives you a clearer, more objective sense of what you're eating and how it aligns with your goals.

I'd generally recommend it, at least temporarily, until you've developed a solid intuition for the caloric content of the foods you eat regularly. Or, if you're a bit of a perfectionist like me, you might just keep doing it until it becomes second nature. At that point, it barely feels like effort.

Ultimately, it's just a tool. Use it if it helps you; drop it if it doesn't. Either way, I wish you all the best on your journey.

Lol 40kg dumbbell incline press is weak as shit my dude. I can easily overhead press 40kg with a barbell 😂😂

You're comparing a 40kg total barbell OHP to a 40kg-per-hand incline dumbbell press.

So that's 40kg versus 80kg; not even counting the added instability that comes with using dumbbells.

Basic reading comprehension is a fundamental, and so is not being weird about other people's lifts/numbers in the gym.

[weltenasche]

So what's the next goal gym wise?

40kg incline dumbbell press and a 50kg weighted pullup.

Realistically somewhere in the next 6-12 months.

[weltenasche]

I have been to the gym before and honestly I don't get it? Am I missing something? Like going there and just destroying your muscles feels awful. The workout is exhausting, the aftermath feels terrible when all your muscles hurt and then the sore muscles the days afterward suck too.... What am I missing? What is the appeal?

For me that's kind of the whole appeal.

I enjoy testing my limits and pushing past what I thought I could do. There's something really satisfying about hitting a point that used to feel impossible and realizing it doesn't anymore.

It feels like growth in the most physical, obvious way.

It also quiets my mind for a while. Not elegantly, not gently, but completely. For a little bit, everything else falls silent.

And maybe this sounds strange to some, but I love the feeling afterward too; the soreness, the heaviness, that sense of your muscles being so full, you can barely hold onto a pen afterwards. To me, that feeling is kind of euphoric.

Faithless King

Blessed was the blade that pared his spirit thin, And praised the mask that sealed the dark within. Skin was traded — penance for a sin, And mercy named in being born again.

Through lanterned halls his hollow footfalls ring, Where breath lies caught beneath a tightened string; He made his own high rafters into gallows-beam, And called that swaying shadow home and dream.

There stands he, enthroned — a faithless king, A crown of thorns no mortal hand can bring.

How are you sexy poet? Next poem when?

I'm doing okay. I've actually been writing, just not posting much.

I've been developing a game, and I wrote a poem to use as an inscription before one of the boss fights. It's part of the worldbuilding, so I wasn't sure if I should share it separately from the project.

It feels strange to post it on its own when it was written for that specific moment in the game.

But maybe I will.

What is the one quality in a person you really like? Or you are attracted to?

I wouldn't say it's a single quality; it's more a constellation of many, each with its own weight and order. Still, certain traits come to mind first, though even these split into whether I find them merely desirable, or whether they spark a deeper sense of attraction and interest.

A slightly romanticized way of looking at life - one might almost be tempted to call it naive at times - is, paradoxical as it may seem, deeply attractive to me. I can't quite explain why. Perhaps it comes from a longing to see the world through eyes that will never be my own.

As if I had grown blind to the quiet beauty of things, and they could tell me about it; so that I might at least begin to imagine what I can no longer see myself.

Why aren't your likes public?

Because I don't want everyone to see all the cute cat posts tumblr keeps recommending to me.
