Flowers with rhinoceros skin: strength and tenderness coexist

Flowers with rhinoceros skin: strength and tenderness coexist

I've long cherished my delicate sensibilities and artistic longings, calling them ‘flowers‘. But over time, I realized something. In order to truly blossom, I need a hard outer shell, a ‘rhinoceros skin" that can withstand the elements. Putting on the rhinoceros skin, an overwhelming shield that protects me Every morning, I put on a heavy iron...

The moment you were angry with an agent... but then changed your mind (from emotion to understanding, and that brief afterglow)

The moment you were angry with an agent... but then changed your mind (from emotion to understanding, and that brief afterglow)

📞 I received a loan solicitation call from Hyundai Card today I received a loan solicitation call from Hyundai Card today. Since I've always used and trusted them, I was curious to see if the terms were different from the last time. The agent's tone was friendly at first, but the flow of the conversation felt a bit one-sided. I felt like she wasn't listening to me enough, and I could hear a hint of anxiety and anger in her voice. Still, I recognized the emotion and didn't want to jump to conclusions, so I said “thank you” at the end and hung up. And soon enough, I calmed down and...

[Essay] Suck it! One! Two! Uh-oh, I did it: The 100-kilogram barbell row, its profound aesthetic of ‘nonchalance'

AI and Philosophy in the Nonchalance of Transcendental Martial Artist Lee Seo-Joon (feat. Luton AI) This is a 10-second write-up based on a conversation with a friend. “I lifted 100kg barbell 2 times today, at a speed of 6 seconds per rep. How did I feel? Um... ‘Suck it up, one, two, uh-oh, I did it.’ That's it.” One might ask, was there any epiphany or exhilaration in the moment of lifting that heavy weight? Wasn't there a mixture of anguish and elation, like in a movie? My answer is always the same....

Online Fiction - My life fell apart because my chicken breast didn't come : Surviving in bodybuilder country

🏛️ A country where bodybuilders are power There's a country where bodybuilders are worshipped, where muscles are character, where the thickness of your triceps determines your social status, where routines are the constitution, chicken breasts are a religion, and cheat day is a holiday. There lived a legendary bodybuilder in the country who weighed 120 kilograms, who ran 4 kilometers every day, climbed stairs in a weight vest, and ended the day with a ‘sculpted’ high-protein diet. In a world where others are applauded for benching 200 kilograms, he benched 300 kilograms as a “light shoulder...

Playing stand-to-stand bridge, hip-hop was born S2SB

Playing stand-to-stand bridge, hip-hop was born S2SB

While doing Stand-to-Stand Bridge, the music came out Today I did a different workout at home than usual, because I changed my routine a while ago, and I did ‘Stand-to-Stand Bridge" with a 19 kg weight vest 🙂 on the hard floor... And I wanted to make this story my own, with my own music. I used to do weight training at the gym, but I realized that combining the vest, barbell, and dumbbell exercises was not very efficient and was causing me too much fatigue, so I separated the vest routine from the barbell and dumbbell routine to save time and increase my focus, and I didn't have to go to the gym on days when I didn't use the barbell, so naturally, I did it at home...

Voyage of the Unconscious: The Night a Dream Cleansed My Childhood Wounds

Voyage of the Unconscious: The Night a Dream Cleansed My Childhood Wounds

I had been abstinent again for over seven weeks now, and every time I'd hit the two-week mark, I'd get through the days of failure with willpower and awareness, because getting rid of unhealthy desires isn't about getting stronger, it's about getting weaker. It's different for everyone, but I felt that maintaining abstinence wasn't a strong personal development in itself, that it was a normal state of being.Yesterday, I felt like watching a female character, and I told myself that I wouldn't let myself be swayed by the stimulus anymore, so even if I watched it later, today I just wanted to focus on my senses. And when I went to sleep at night, I had unexpected and strange dreams...
