MOTIVATE ME

Please read the below before interacting

I am NOT a personal trainer: I don’t mind offering tips or discussing physical fitness. I don’t care to offer specific training or diet plans since everyone is different and I don’t feel properly trained to be that guy.

Mental Health Protection: I am a big advocate for mental health. I protect mine as I feel necessary. This may mean I don’t always respond or interact immediately or to any or every question. It’s nothing personal. I also ask to be informed if any of my interaction causes discomfort or anxiety and I’ll stop immediately.

Only here for positive friendly interaction: Happily married and not looking. Don’t mistake my interaction or responses as flirting or teasing. My intent is to offer positive support and encouragement and welcome interaction with anyone who is interested in the same.

Likes and Comments are OK: From men or women, I appreciate positive feedback/encouragement. I ask to refrain from overly sexual comments such as what you’d do to me or what you want me to do to you. Those are quick ways to get blocked.

Interaction is not an invite: i have will not share any pics beyond what i already post. Nor do i want anyone to send or share pics with me. I also will not engage in private chats or messages of an explicit or sexual nature.

Zero Judgement: I don’t care what you post, you’re likes or interests so long as you can respect my space I’ll respect yours. No judgments here, everyone is free to be themselves.

Some Reblogs are OFF: For personal posts I feel may be abused reblogs are turned off. I don’t mind other posts being reblogged if they are able to be.

Thanks for visiting and or following my journey!

We either become what we know or we become what we want to be.

I grew up in a verbally abusive household. It would be easy to blame my childhood for inexcusable temper tantrums and lashing out as an adult. Yet I hated that part of my youth so much I vowed to not let it become who I was someday.

And so I broke the trend that my father blamed his anger on for growing up in a similar household and became a stronger better version of myself.

So if you’re struggling with trauma from your youth know that it does indeed shape you, but you’re the one who decides how it’s going to make you.

It was odd but interesting to observe and see the varying degree of comfort or discomfort it brought upon people. Some ignored them, some thanked them, some gave them weird looks. The introvert in me was desperately seeking to avoid interaction but before I left I crossed paths with them and they complimented my hat.

At first I was annoyed, like what were they trying to achieve beyond forcing awkward interaction but then I thought, that’s just my perspective. From another perspective, what if everyone went around randomly dispensing innocent generic complements to strangers? Probably make for a better society even if you weren’t positive it was genuine.
