Well, as much as I enjoy writing on this blog, I wouldn't say I'm much good at writing stories. Thinking up a whole a setting and everything, and most importantly, making it compelling, that's not quite my forte lol. Now, if I had something to work with... I could certainly give it a shot.

//======================================

Honestly, its one of my favorite parts about sharing my heart with the community. I mentioned before in a previous post about how amazing a 24/7 heart live feed would be, an implanted microphone nestled right against my heart to observe and record every single beat, and this is just about as close as I'll ever reasonably get. While it may, unfortunately, not be live, the thought that any day, at any moment, someone could be listening in, is such a raw thrill. Constantly, completely unbeknownst to me, my heart could be having a virtual examination. Its speed, whether fast or slow, its regularity ( or lack thereof ), every aspect of its each and every pump being closely monitored.

I'd be strange if that idea didn't make my heart race from time to time.

Here's my tired heart pumping along after an exhausting, stressful past few days. As busy as it's been, I hope at least some enjoyment can be found from listening to my heart's slow, overworked beats.

//======================================

It's so funny when people leave somewhat rude comments, only to follow up with even ruder anon asks. Like, you're not as slick as you think you are, trying to hide behind anonymity only after you have shown your face lmao. Even more surprising, this isn't the first time this has happened.

That said, thanks for making my job of blocking and curating so much easier! Keep this mind anyone else who receives gross messages, these people are dumb as dirt and NOT worthy of your time. Just block and move on, and make your community better, one person at a time!

//======================================

No, aside from standard check-ups, I do not. Honestly, I'm sure it would probably be smart to do so, I mean, you all have seen all of its quirks, but my physician hasn't ever mentioned any issues. I think I'll ask some questions at the next one, maybe get it properly checked out.

//======================================

Oh, not at all, I love hearing peoples thoughts! I'm flattered. My heart is open to any and all watching, listening, and feeling. In fact, it's racing at just the thought.🫀

Thanks for the ask, I'm glad you've enjoyed my heart.

//======================================

Well, how about I save some time explaining how visible it is and just show you instead? Because of how difficult it is to record audio and get good visuals, usually resulting in both being poor quality, I opted to just get a good shot of my heart racing after some cardio. I'd love to know how fast it was going; it was really pounding hard!

//======================================

//======================================

//======================================

I was going through my YouTube account ( I have some videos there, but I really don't ever post ), and I realized that I had never posted one of my favorite recordings from there onto my Tumblr. In this audio, I applied light pressure to both of my carotid's with my thumbs, causing it to drastically slow down. Within seconds, my heart slows from an excited ~100 bpm, all the way down to around 30! At ~20 seconds in, I begin pressing down onto my arteries. At first, my heart speeds against the pressure, although it slowly and steadily begins to slow down as it fails to pump blood efficiently.

Eventually, at its slowest, my heart pauses for 3 entire seconds between each beat! When I finally release at ~1:00, the sudden change causes it to skip a fair amount. Once more, at about the 2-minute mark, I press down again, causing another fairly similar reaction.

//======================================

I had a long, exhausting day today so I decided I needed a nice hot shower to relax. I guess it was a little too hot for a little too long cause before I knew it my heart was pounding in my chest, and I was getting a bit light-headed.

Queue to about an hour later, It's still pumping hard for all to see. Can anyone let me know how fast it's going?

//======================================

//======================================

No audio in this one*

//======================================

I tried my best to get it racing and hold my breath for as long as I could, but I unfortunately couldn't hold it in for too long. Short as they were, It really didn't love those breath holds. It was pounding out of my chest every time I'd finally take another breath.

There weren't too many skips ( one big one at around 1:10 ), but lots of slowing down and pounding hard before going right back to racing. At around 2:45, you can really start to hear it slow down when I breathe in.

//======================================

//======================================

Wow, I guess I was completely mistaken with how few people browse tumbler on a computer like myself. I was expecting near 50/50, but it's a total blowout for phone users.

Now that I have my answer, I think I'll work to format my content towards looking best on mobile!

Thanks to everyone who voted!

//======================================

If by anyone, do you mean a stranger pointing it out while I'm out and about? Then no, I've surprisingly never had that happen. I have, on a few occasions, noticed someone staring, but they've never directly mentioned it.

Now, I actually have had someone listen to it a fair amount in person. An ex of mine used to love to rest her head on my chest and listen ( and I, of course, listened to theirs plenty as well ). I don't believe they were into it in the same way, but they certainly seemed to find it relaxing anyhow.

It's actually kind of funny because, to any cardiophile, and especially one with a heart as reactive as mine, just knowing its being heard it enough to make it pound. Lots of the time, it'd end up bouncing their head up and down in rhythm.

//======================================

Recently, with all of my blog renovations, I've encountered something pretty annoying. When looking at my blog on mobile, because everything is formatted to look nice on my computer, things tend to look squished and not quite right on a phone screen ( because, obviously, the display is much thinner ). I wonder, how many of you browse Tumblr on a mobile device? Depending on the results, I may choose to format a little bit differently.

//======================================

//======================================

==================================================

The angles and lighting that use in my visible recordings certainly help, but even without them its always very much visible. At times when I am perfectly at rest, its usually not beating-out-of-my-chest visible, but its clear enough to make out with relative ease.

The thing is, with it being so reactive to pretty much anything, its rarely at that perfectly calm resting rate. If on a particular day I were to, say, get some exercise ( just a casual walk, let alone running or anything more intense ), have more than just a small amount of caffeine, feel any type of strong emotion ( nervousness, excitement, etc. ), have something to eat, and so on and so forth, its every beat can quite clearly be seen by anyone around.

==================================================

==================================================

Thank you so much! I've actually always super curious, wondering exactly why its so visible. Someday in the future, I would love to get it imaged, an x-ray or better yet a 3D scan, so I can finally get an answer to that question. My best guess, is either I have a somewhat larger than average heart, I have a thinner than normal chest wall, or even a mix of the two. If I had to make a guess, I think I would lean towards it being caused by its size, because I can almost always feel it beating in my chest; I can even quite clearly feel the blood being pumped through the rest of my body. It also probably helps that I am on the skinnier side ( not super skinny or anything, just a bit on the leaner side ), so there's less muscle and tissue to cover it up.
