Maui is not obese

Maui is a powerful demigod. Big and strong and… oh, you think he looks fat?

That’s probably because you’ve been conditioned by the media to accept this

as what strong and fit looks like. Amiright?

Sadly… these guys are not all that strong. Yeah, they got muscles… but they aren’t built in a useful way. They are built for looks and that’s about it.

This… 

is a strong guy. Actually a competitor in the Strongman competition. But… his tummy sticks out and he doesn’t look like a Dorito. 

You know who else is strong?

These guys…

And Maui…

Look at those arms, omg. And that solid, sturdy torso. You can see a shadow where his meat covers his ribs, but he doesn’t look like any slouch to me.

And this guy…

That’s Dwayne Johnson’s grandfather. When the Disney animators showed him their sketches of Maui, he pulled out a picture of his grandfather and showed it to them because he was amazed how similar they looked. This dude was also a pro wrestler.

There’s actually a great infographic about ab muscles and stuff over HERE. but this is the part i want to show you.

Now… look at Maui again.

That thickness don’t move like fat. It doesn’t jiggle and he’s able to flex it. Look at how it sits on his body. It doesn’t sag… he doesn’t have a gut. There’s even a slight V shape to his torso.

It’s just big and not ‘defined’.

And people aren’t used to that.

(sorry, this isn’t the most organized post… i kinda just let it all spill out)

“Maybe love stays. Maybe love can’t. Maybe love shouldn’t. Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to. And love leaves exactly when love must. When love arrives, say, ‘Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.’ If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her. Turn off the music, listen to the quiet. Whisper, ‘Thank you for stopping by.’”

“We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easy; we do not need to learn it.”

Yeah, i know. I shouldn't have expected anything from you, should've believed the red flags. Reality's so different.

Things were never the way they are now, yet you've seen it coming. It was already a warning when you knew the patterns they were weaving. Patterns that cry attention, and you give them just that, not realizing they were for somebody, not just your being.

For me to let go...

I just hope that you'd just tell me you don't want me, so that I could stop thinking about when I would get to hear from you again.

Let's just admit it, I never was supposed to be a part of your life anyway. Now you're with somebody else, and it just feels like you're destined to be with them not I. Yes, I've longed for your warm embrace and the moment I was coddled up in your arms I knew that it came with a prize; which just made me realize that I was always an option. I wasn't the girlfriend material for you, I was just the friend.

Now my comment: I spent a long career as a cardiac nurse.  I saw thousands of men go through major cardiac events - heart attacks and bypass surgery and the like.  And over and over and over I saw men who were feeling emotions like fear and grief and and sadness - but had no way to express those feelings because their entire emotional vocabulary was limited to anger.  They knew they were feeling strong, disturbing emotion, but they had no way to say what they felt.  So, instead of reaching out for help and comfort, they lashed out in anger.  And, for the most party, they didn’t direct the anger at us, the caregivers, but at the people closest to them - their wives and children.  And I have come to believe that the anger and emotional constipation that leads men to kill others is the very same that leads some to kill themselves.  We need to do a much better job of raising boys.

Day...

It doesn't really matter, he only knows me when he's drunk, a stranger when he's sober.

“To You. If I knew that that was the last time that I’d hug you, damn it I would’ve hugged you so much longer. I don’t think I would’ve let you go. And if I knew that that was the last conversation where we shared all our thoughts and dreams. Oh God I wouldn’t have stopped talking. And if I knew that you would leave, I swear I would’ve told you. I would’ve told you you were the only person I ever felt connected with, and that you were my home. I would’ve told you that you were my favorite movie to watch and that your voice was my favorite song and I could listen to it all day without getting tired of it. I would’ve told you that you were my favorite poem and that I could read you all day long. But would this have made a difference. Would you still have left if you knew that you would leave with my favorite song my favorite movie, my favorite poem and my only home.”

I think that...

I'm not even worthy of your mere reply.

[zandralou]

It was mine.

It was my fault, I misunderstood the things you were doing to me; things that I cannot wrap my mind around with - because I was wearing my heart on my sleeve.

[zandralou]

Thought...

Still, it resonates or proves that I'm just the friend material, and not the girlfriend material. Smh.
