If You Could Change A Thing On Your Body What Would That Be?

Love's Unseen Roots

In the garden of our love, we once grew free;

where your roots took hold deep inside of me.

But fate, unkind, veiled you from my eyes to see;

my heart, your grave, forever to be.

Gymbros like you are a real embarrassment for the community. I can tell you from your physique alone which training plan you follow and that you are only concerned with "show muscles" and that there is no strength behind it. Surely you already have a blatant bad posture because your arms and chest are more important than your back because it is not seen in the mirror ? Always the same with people like you. Bet you also make 30 videos for tik tok before even touching a weight 😂😂😓poser boy 😂

I can see my back in the mirror just fine. Maybe yours is broken?

Fallen Eden

In the garden we tended, once blooming with light,

shadows have fallen and day turned to night.

The roses lie broken, the trees stand alone,

what once was our Eden is but overgrown stone.

The nature we cherished now whispers no song,

the paths we once wandered feel twisted and wrong.

Where love used to flourish, the roots intertwine,

nothing may live in this garden of mine.

Ich mag deinen Blog und deine Kunst sehr. Es wirkt so, als würde dir das Schreiben sehr leicht von der Hand gehen. Deshalb meine Frage:

Hattest du jemals eine Schreibblockade? Wenn ja, empfandest du sie als hilfreich oder störend?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Es freut mich, dass dir mein Blog und meine Kunst gefällt.

Bezogen auf meine Gedichte und Kunst hatte ich noch nie eine Schreibblockade, da die Wörter in diesen Momenten dann einfach aus mir heraussprudeln. Meist dauert es nur wenige Minuten, bis ich vom Anfang eines Gedichtes zu dessen Ende finde; Manchmal merke ich erst im Nachhinein wirklich, welche Zeilen ich dort auf das Papier gebracht habe.

Aber Schreibblockaden im allgemeinen sind mir nicht fremd. Ich kenne sie beispielsweise beim Programmieren, bei dem ich Ewigkeiten für das benennen von Funktionen, Variablen, Klassen, Interfaces, .. etc. verbringen kann; Auch bei meiner damaligen Abschlussarbeit bei der ich meine Projektarbeit (ebenfalls im Bereich Entwicklung und Programmierung) seitenweise dokumentieren musste, hatte ich stellenweise mit Blockaden zu kämpfen, da dieses Schreiben nicht so "frei" war, wie ich es sonst gewohnt bin; Und auch deshalb, weil ich mit wenig Lust an dieser Dokumentation saß.

Meine größte Schreibblockade aber hat bereits vor Jahren angefangen. Mir wird häufig gesagt, ich sei wortgewandt, wortverliebt, könnte alles bis ins kleinste Detail beschreiben und doch traf ich einen Menschen, für den all diese mir bekannten Worte nicht passend erschienen. Und ich habe weiter nach Worten gesucht, in meiner Sprache, in anderen Sprachen, in alten Büchern, bei Autoren, die ich längst überlebt und auch bei jenen, die gerade noch unter uns weilen. Nur fündig, das wurde ich nicht.

Mittlerweile sind einige Jahre ins Land gezogen und noch immer suche ich, kämpfe gegen Windmühlen.

Vielleicht ist es meine schönste Schreibblockade, weil sie so niemals vergehen wird und ich zumindest in einem Aspekt meines Lebens meine Tendenz zur Weltfremdheit behalten darf.

You know I always had a feeling you were gay but now with all the calligraphy stuff on your blog I'm even sure. When is the coming out? Not good to live in a closet you know?

Oh well, you got me on that one, buddy.

There are only two small problems with your theory:

Calligraphy says absolutely nothing about a person's sexual orientation.

I feel only attracted to women.

But you'll be the first person I'll tell if that ever changes. It seems to be on your mind, after all.

Do you consider yourself attractive?

In the realm of human perception, attractiveness takes on varied forms, shaped by unique experiences, cultures, and personal perspectives.

However, beauty isn't confined to the physical; it extends to encompass character, personality, and presence. A heart that beats in harmony with your own, a thoughtful mind, and an artistic essence all contribute to the mosaic of what is considered attractive.

As I reflect, I recognize the intricate interplay of perceptions and societal norms in shaping the concept of attractiveness. Yet, this isn't a reflection of self-worth; it's a contemplation of the layers that constitute this idea.

In conclusion, discussions on attractiveness reveal the intricate dance between personal viewpoints, societal standards, and the tapestry of human perception. I find myself just a mere participant, shaped by these threads of subjectivity. And while beauty may indeed reside in the eye of the beholder, my own eyes will never bestow upon me the mantle of attractiveness.

In short: No, I don't.

Is there a word you hate?

Yes, there is one word that I hate. It is the German term "Nutztier" (Eng. livestock/farm animal), which, if translated word for word, would be "utility animal".

I find it to be a troubling term, for like nearly all words, it evokes associations and imagery in the minds of people, in this case, the notion that there are animals solely brought into existence to serve the needs of humans. And this notion, deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness, serves to justify unspeakable cruelties inflicted upon these animals, who have essentially committed no offense, but to be of use to humankind.

To be born into a life of servitude simply because one is deemed useful to another by virtue of innate traits. A cruel and man-made fate, which is unfortunately still accepted in the midst of our society.

Forsaken

The mirror won’t meet me, it knows where I’ve been.

I am as damned as the devil, and as guilty as sin.

My name is a whisper, carved under your skin,

Forgotten by time, and forsaken by kin.

Hello weltenasche. I know it is kind of a weird question but you inspired me to learn calligraphy and I wanted my first written word to be my name. I try to write with a frakturish (I think that is the font you use?) font but I can't get the "B" to work for the life of me. Could you upload a video where you write a "B" for me? Thank you! - Bella.

Hello Bella, I'm glad you're using me as inspiration to learn calligraphy. Yes, I do write a type of Fraktur script (even a few different ones, to be exact). Don't be discouraged by the majuscules at first; they're really hard.

I've never done this before, but I made a video for you of me writing the letter. Please excuse the messy writing, as it's pretty difficult to write with only one hand while filming with the smartphone in the other.

Just for completeness, I used a "C. Howard Hunt Pen Co, Speedball Pens, C-Series / C-1" for writing. I would recommend a nib with less elasticity for you, maybe one of the Brause & Co, No. 180 series.

I wish you continued success and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Beruhigende Berührungen voll nächtlicher Stille, endlos erscheinende Momente des Durchatmens und abertausend achtsame Blicke in ein unaufhörliches Dunkel.
