He was a sikkunt, I cannot deny that when it comes to the drug use and whatnot.
However, he was by no mean an average dude
His lifestyle was solely drug & clubs
I need not tell you about his amazing physique, and only faggots with body dysmorphia can say it wasnt.
And not even to mention his confidence and lifestyle ethic, he was a genuine, blissful guy, and I wish I had the pleasure of calling him a friend.
There were things we don't even know about him
Didn't he have a burning love for a certain one woman? He felt the warm embrace of her pale flesh and he lived like a king.
Sure he was an advocate and glutton to pleasure, but even a fraction esteemed Greeks build a lifestyle around it.
I guess it's just what we take from the living, whilst they are living.
Live well, anon

Today I did 1.5 hours of cardio. During the last 30 minutes I could hear my belly literally growling for food.
Went home, chugged a shake. Parents brought some juicy and extremely flavorful mixed grill meats from a store outside. It smelled pretty fucking good.
I had my chicken breast and brown rice. Didn't bat an eyelid. First time I cut I had 12am McDonald's raids because I couldn't control my cravings.

Hang on in there brahs, we're all gonna make it.

I am going through something that I think many people on this board are also going through; depression. Specifically what is referred to as walking depression. I can still preform my functions, but the world sometimes seems devoid of color, no joy, no excitement, just fatigue characterizes much of my day.

I bring this up in this thread because I try to use it as motivation. People that have this affliction may think this is strange at first; one of the hardest things to come by with any form of depression is motivation. Waking up you feel robbed of your energy and you have to fight to not stay in bed all day. But that's just it, you have to fight. What I realized is this fight isn't just getting out of bed, it extends to all facets of life. I fight my depression for control of my body, of my time and of myself. If I feel like skipping an work out I get my ass out of my chair that instant and march myself straight to the gym. If I feel like slacking off on a reading for class, I take out my books and start reading. This isn't easy, but a good fight is never easy. And the thing with depression is it doesn't go away. It comes back stronger each day, which means you need to as well. Each day is battle for control of me and I never intend on losing.

Even if one day my foe proves insurmountable, it's indefatigable, distorted, face looking down at my broken self I can hold my head high and know that I fought with every ounce of blood, sweat, and tear that I could produce.

My depression, life, whatever problem you may face realize this; it may have the power to destroy you, but only you have the power to defeat yourself

Because I will be the one to dictate my life; I won't let depression, cynicism, doubt or any other negativity, be it internal or external, guide me, only my concentrated will is to be my guide, and my desires my compass. Even if all life is futile and meaningless I want my existence to be a shout of defiance, an exclamation that the only meaning that matters is the one I define, and let that battle cry echo throughout the infinite empty hallway of eternity.

But wouldn't you agree that our biology forces us to be socially successful in order to be happy? Basically sense of belonging, being sexually attractive while you're still in your prime, being respected by your peers and so on. I don't think you can wish away these requirements just because you decided to be some bad ass. Sometimes I wish I could be an autist or a downie just for this reason.

Also her self esteem obviously didn't stem from thin air. Regardless of how fake she is she will be treated like a princess anywhere she goes. That's just the way it is and we are the ones who have to deal with it.

You're probably purposefully being a pleb.

However in the chance you're not.

Can you guess what his point is?

Hint: it's don't worship retards who die at 22 because they abused drugs.

>>35104700
I think you are making an assumption, anon. I am conventionally attractive, socially and academically successful. Depression does not rest on the premise you are lacking in these facets, and those facets are not what leads to happiness. Depression, as it relates to me, is just a constant cloud over my life. I see no enjoyment in anything, even those things I used to enjoy very much. Our biology does not force anything and does not necessarily presuppose happiness; it merely dictates a desire to pass on our genetic material and as such immortalize ourselves. The day to day actions are left to you to decide and meaning, as we understand it, is left for you to create.

This hurrr but what if u had to fight 4 ur life meme is fucking stupid unless you live in a fucking ghetto and date prostitutes.

Also I seriously doubt that a girl with an IQ in the triple digits would give a shit about your fighting prowess let alone date you used it to beat someone up and then there's the whole thing about fit != good fighter, I think we had that discussion plenty of times before..

>You okay with that?
Fit guys constantly overrate how much they get "eyeraped", this has to do with most of them being average-ugly in the face and as studies have shown, less attractive guys tend to interpret a woman's gestures as flirtatious more often that genetically hot guys would.

Also it's all about the maxilla. Unless "my girl" is secretly a muscle fetishist, you won't win her over with your gains, sorry.

I didn't praise her at all. She might be a cunt, I have no idea. What's pathetic is going on a rant about how much of a bitch she is when you have no idea about who she is. Literally like those equally pathetic old fat women berating that Kazak volleyball player.

I was referring to your idealistic view of how much influence you have over brushing off negativity and so on.

To me its not so much as brushing off negativity, instead it is using it as fuel to drive past adversity. And I think in following your goals, whatever they may be, you necessarily end up receiving positive social feedback in some sense or another. Your goals are in many ways environmentally driven, the surroundings you find yourself in to some extent shape your desires and expectations. As a result, when you pursue your goals at least some subset of society will recognize your accomplishments. Further, you tend to surround yourself with people that have similar belief structures as yourself so that also contributes to it.

That being said, I don't find I need any sort of external positive social feedback, as long as I am doing what I want that is enough for me. And happiness isn't reliant on external feedback; happiness is what you make it, and the sooner you realize that the sooner you will realize that the only thing getting in between you and your goals is yourself

>amps me up so much, I blast my 1RM by 10lbs easy
>also bump 1RM OHP up by 10lbs

The fact that that guy came into the gym with a smile on his face, and pumped out 335 with one hand is fucking beyond me. He was really nice, and it's that kind of motivation and optimism that I want to have in my life.

Later that day, I turned down smoking weed with my buddies for the first time in a while because I felt so good from the gym, and they were surprisingly cool with it. Also, some girl texted me later that night, trying to bait me into asking her on a date party this Friday, so that was cool also.

Overall, pretty good weekend, one that I really needed. We're all gunna make it brahs.

For me, my motivation in the gym and life, is to exceed over every girl that has ever wronged me.
Age 17
>Permavirgin 120 pound loser
>meet a girl who possibly might want the dick
>she hints that she wants to fuck me
>get feels
>too scared to make a move. Fucks my close friend, they date.
After this, I decided to begin working out. I'd show her what she's missing out on. We'll get back to this after the next two.
Age 19-20
>First girlfriend ever. Feeling so excited to have someone like me and want to be with me.
>beginner gains at this point, 120 to 160 lbs now. High bf %. But face stayed moderately skinny
>Still have no idea what Im doing in the gym but who cares I have a gf, stop lifting.
>she cheats on me with her ex boyfriend
>being the sorry loser I was, I forgave her and continued dating her
>7 months pass, shes texting him again. We break up. The day after she sucks his dick at a party
>Heartbroken, no idea what I could do. I returned to the gym, vowed that she'd miss out on what I'd become.
Age 21
>159 lbs 16%bf , on a cut. I have an idea of what I can do in the gym. Girls begin complementing me on my muscles.
>get a new girlfriend 2 months after ex.
>Everything going wonderful, shes fit, 8/10.
>things go down hill, she tries controlling my life. Telling me who I couldn't hang out with.
>I come to the realization that I couldn't let these women run my life anymore.

Now me, 22.
>First girl, now extremely overweight. Dropout. Wants to fuck me. Her current boyfriend lives in her garage.
>First girlfriend, went to rehab twice after the breakup. Dropped out of school. Extremely suicidal. Still tries texting/calling me. Ignore her.
>Last girlfriend. Was once fit, now very overweight. Single since I've split with her.

I'm now 160 lbs at 11% bf. Doing extremely well in school. high paying part time job. No drug habits, not detrimental life fuck ups. Compliments all the time on my physique.

We're all gonna make it, no matter what powers us through it.

Not this guy, but my Aunt and Uncle live in Las Vegas in a mansion, with two giant Newfoundlands, and they're happy as can be. Uncle works as a pit boss, and Aunt works as a VIP Executive, both work at night. They live on a golf course, and they're fucking rich as duck. They shower me with money and presents, and go on vacations all the time. Their life is one of the main reasons I would consider never having kids.

Meanwhile, it took my mom 30 years, a college degree, a divorce, 2 foreclosures, and a whole lot of work to finally find even a semblance of happiness. Her life revolved around me until I was around 16, when I started separating myself like all boys naturally do, and then another 3 years of constant paranoia and psychopath tendencies before she finally let go and found someone else to be with.

Even typing this out makes me never want to have kids. Looking back, even though I maintain that most of my childhood was a breeze, dealing with and putting children through a divorce is the worst thing you could possibly do. Especially at an early age like my parents did. In this age, marriage is depressingly bleak to think about.

Let me start by saying that the following statements are not trying to insult you, I'm just commenting on how this sounds as a stranger reading your post

1. Working long hours, spoiling your nephews and nieces, keeping pets and travelling during most of your free time is a classic method of distracting yourself from being childless. My childless aunt is also rich, works long hours, travels, keeps several dogs, spoils her nephews and is extremely involved in charity work but I assure you that she is a deeply unhappy person.

2. Purely based on the information you provided it appears that your mother's divorce was the cause of most of her unhappiness and emotional issues, not the fact that she has children, which then manifested as overly clingy parenting

3. I am incline to believe that the contrast between your mother and your Aunt and Uncle is less of a matter of unhappy woman with children versus happy couple without children and more a case of unhappy divorced woman versus happily married couple

Just because something is easy doesn't mean that it's good, comfort is not the same thing as happiness, just because it's difficult to keep a hot girl faithful doesn't mean that having a hot girlfriend is less rewarding than having a frumpy girlfriend(although putting a hot girl on a pedestal and treating her like a princess is pretty much a guaranteed way of getting clucked, I find it hard to believe that anyone that stupid would even be able to spread a legitimately hot girl's legs these days unless they're also filthy rich)

The simple act of being alive requires effort anon, we're not plants, we can't just sit out in the sun and get our nutrients from photosynthesis.

I've gotta make constant effort to keep getting better and working harder to become stronger/more muscular but that doesn't mean that I'm putting aesthetics on a pedestal, I've gotta make constant effort to keep getting better and working harder to become wealthier/not become homeless but that doesn't mean that I'm putting money on a pedestal, pretty much everything in this world worth having requires hard work, dating frumpy girls because they require very little effort is the sexual equivalent of being a NEET and living on welfare.

Look, I am actually going to try to help you despite you being a tripfag.

Don't count me lucky, everyday I have thoughts of me dangling a foot above the floor with a rope around my neck, and those thoughts are met not with fear, anger, or sadness, but with a restfulness, almost a relaxation. I am just doing what every single other person has the power to do, and that is decide the way they react to what they are given. I don't let my depression immobilize me, instead I meet it face on and I push myself to do things I don't want to almost purely because I can.

Reality didn't hit you in the face, you just gave up on yourself. You caved in to the perception that you are stuck in a certain circumstance that is beyond your control and you are responding to that in an easy way. You are being submissive to the easy way instead of the way you want. Call it german idealism, call it stoicism, it revolves around one major tenant, and that is control. I may not control too much, but there is something that is entirely in my control and that is my actions.

I am going to take your looksmaxing remark as an insinuation that you are working out to look better so you can lick some nasty bitches toes. Fuck that. Lift because you want to, do what you want because it is what you want. Not even just women, but people in general, are attracted to people with passion.

Most of that is true, but the point is that getting married and having children can lead you down many more bad paths than it can happy paths. Whereas not having children gives you the freedom to 'distract' yourself if you truly are unhappy. If you're a parent, there's not much you can do without it negatively impacting your children.

As for my aunt's happiness, I can assure you she's happy. She use to work on cruise ships before settling in Vegas (she met my British uncle on a cruise ship), and while her lifestyle is unorthodox, she does live in the city of sin. She smokes, she drinks, she sunbathes, she parties, and she hangs out and works with people who do the exact same thing as she does. It's just a lifestyle you can't maintain with children. Last time I visited for spring break, we went to a open air bar, drank beers, smoked cigarettes, and laughed about everything under the sun. I don't care how much you insist she's unhappy, she's not. I'm not trying to be protective or ignorant, but if you met her you'd understand. She has always been like that, contently passive and fun, and my mom has always been the studious, emotional one.

Saw a doctor once, just gave him a general description and he suggested anti depressants with no therapy right off the bat. Being intelligent I did my research before and felt that was not what I wanted. Since then I haven't had time (had to attend to family businesses as both parents got cancer and now in law school) and also, somewhat foolishly, felt I can beat it on my own. Now, and it may seem defeatist, I realize I will never beat it, it is just who I am. And while that may be so I refuse to let it control me.

Yet again not trying to insult you or your aunt but in my personal experience people(especially women) who smoke, drink and party are almost never happy, I hope that your aunt is the exception to that rule but things like pets, jobs with long hours, spoiling nephews and travelling all sound like behaviour that people use to fill a void in their lives.

To quote Janis Joplin "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" It's much easier for men to be happy without children since unlike women we can still father children in our 90's if we want to, while I definitely agree that divorcing parents is pretty much guaranteed to cause severe emotional damage to any child I disagree that this alone is justification to avoid all the happiness that children can bring, children are after all pretty much the only thing that you're almost guaranteed to love unconditionally as long as they're actually your kids

>>35107041
No but if you're already debating on having kids, this is definitely a good argument. I also never said they work long hours, they just work at night because that's when the Vegas strip is alive. They work very minimal hours actually.

Is it that hard to believe that people can be happy living nontraditional lives? They just never wanted kids, they would rather do what they want. It's not for everyone, but it's suits them.

>>35102636
she probably took a massive dump right after that selfie.

>>35107085
But did you have a stable job, and a loyal spouse with which you've spent 20 years? I think that's an important part to note.

Left: 18, 5'10, 130kg, kicked out of high school, never kissed a girl, yellow fucked up teeth, no confidence, no dreams, no desire

right; 21, 88kg, 6'0, one of the top law schools in the country, going to work for a top corporate law firm (kinda like suits), dating a beautiful Italian model/law student, ran a marathon, being mentored to be a future leader, luckily got some awesome free surgery and dental treatment too.

I didn't make it though. I'm more depressed than ever.

That's called imposter syndrome, bro. Get some therapy.

>>35106923
That's why you'll never be with a girl like that. Why would a girl who puts in so much work to maintain her beauty want to be with a man who couldn't even bother to do the same unless he was guaranteed something in the end.

Primitive motivation is just as valid, what makes some motivation sources superior to others? We are animals after all.

>>35107141
It's funny you should say that. Because the word I always use to describe myself is a fake, a fraud or an imposter.

My head is a mess and I'm trying to sort it out. I hope my post proves it can be done. But it doesn't mean you'll be happy.

>>35107112
I had loyal friends and got highest honors at a big university which allowed me to go to an elite graduate school. Maybe not equivalent but its not like I was living in a crack den and living off welfare. That sort of lifestyle has no substance. Days bleed into each other and no progress is made. You look in the mirror at the end of the week and the only thing different is the color of your shirt and the drink in your hand. That is not conducive to happiness. At least not for me. I want to see growth, I want to know that there is change and that days are distinct. Meaningful interaction, struggle, in a word, life.

Again just my 2 cents

As I said previously anon, I've known a lot of childless women over the age of 40 and to date not a single one of them was happy, same thing with childless men over the age of 50, if your aunt and uncle are the exceptions to that rule than good for them, they seem like nice people, that being said all evidence suggests that you have a 99.99% chance of being miserable if you attempt to follow their lifestyle for your entire life

How many men and women over 40 have you met that are truly happy? And I mean truly happy, not just 'seemingly happy' like you think my aunt and uncle are. I think you're drawing conclusions from an observation of only one party. Generally, I think that most people over the age of 40 are unhappy in some aspect of their lives.

>>35107355
Everyone older than 8 is unhappy with something

>>35105300
who is this?

>>35107191
Well I believe that there's a point in your life, when you can be happy with your accomplishments. I just think you weren't there yet. My aunt and uncle meet new people every day, they work for two of the largest casinos in Vegas, and their jobs are literally to be social and fun and nice. And they've been doing it for 15 years now. Someone who is truly unhappy would have fizzled out by then

>>35107283
Oh, it's the top 14 law schools in the nation according to rankings, which for the existence of the rankings have maintained the top 14 positions exclusively. As such they are in a league of their own for jobs and getting the best students

What kind of retarded fucking comparison is that
She keeps her beauty because she's guaranteed a man to take care of her if she does
So if anon was guaranteed a beautiful woman if he took care of himself then the situation would be exactly the same

You guys seriously worship hot girls

>>35107355
You're right that most people over 40 aren't happy, that being said 100% of the people I know that seem to be happy(or at least show no signs of being unhappy with their life) are married and have children, I'm not trying to preach for traditional lifestyles or anything like that, if sound evidence disproving my hypothesis that lifelong childlessness leads to unhappiness then I will spin of a fucking dime and renounce my previous stance but that hasn't happened yet

I guess I am just looking at it through the lens of having a mental illness and even with that I have the power to do so. I believe that everyone has the power to choose how they react to situations in their life, and that is something that I feel is less to do with the existence of mental illness and more to do with discipline, something that goes hand in hand with working out and sticking to a routine. That said I recognize that certain people have it more difficult than others. The guy in the thread earlier who has schizo has it harder than I do without a doubt, but I also see that he has taken the proactive step to try and better himself. And even if that is just browsing an anonymous message board dedicated to fitness, it is better than nothing and a step in the right direction, he could easily have gone to /v/ and just shit posted. I just want to help people realize that every single time they react to something, they have a decision to make on how to react, and it might not be easy, but with patience and practice you can control those reactions and morph them to your will.

And I really hope I am not being uppity about mental illness. The only reason I speak of it here is because it is the only place I feel comfortable about talking about it. I feel that some of the people here have similar experiences and can empathize. I never talk about it in real life as I don't want to burden others with my problems. So if I come off as preachy it is not my intention, I just want to help in whatever way I can.

I don't know if it's rightly motivational, but I just got woken up by my phone because Amazon wanted to know how many stars I would rate The Sun Also Rises and it's the middle of the fucking night, but I reckon I'm not getting any more sleep anyway, so I'm off to do my Light Day routine and hanging leg raise progression, and instead do some sadly neglected cardio later today instead of postponing my workout.
Thanks, Hemingway.

For the record, *I* thought your post was quality. I lost 50 pounds in a 5 month period, bringing me to a respectable weight for the first time in a longtime, but I still felt hollow. I think I knew deep down that it would still be *me*, just in a non-fat body, but I had clung to the notion that fitness would somehow wave the magic wand over my life and fix everything. It certainly helps in many areas, but mental fitness as physical fitness are definitely two separate things and this board really isn't equipped to deal with the latter.

Thanks man, as long as I can say I helped one person in some small way I can rest a little easier tonight.

Though it sounds like you are already on the right path I would suggest you start building up your ideal notion of you. What do you see yourself doing in your ideal world? Drawing? Speaking French? Playing darts? Whatever it is pour yourself into it. Give it your all and realize your passion. This may sound bad, but there is no fix. I am doing what I have dreamed of, and pursuing hobbies I want to, but I am still me. I wake up with the same sword of depression hanging by thread dangling over me. That said, my best days are when I get so involved in doing what I have decided I will do that I get to exhausted to mull over my depression. It might just be an escape, but I'll take it. So keep going anon, keep taking control of your life, because it might not get better, hell, I have come to the realization it probably never will, but it can be yours. At the end of the day I think that is what counts the most.

>arms are too short

Jake has stretching powers

Working out isn't even difficult. You see gains almost immediately.

Get a Phd, law degree, or MD. That's tough and sucks.

Real life sucks. Lifting is not real life. It's something you 19-21 year olds do in your free time in college while living off student loans.

I don't get how you could possibly whine this much. It even fucking feels good and becomes addictive to work out. Doing hard studying or work never gets addictive or feels good.

I met a bloke a few years ago when I was working at a nursing home. He was about 32, had 4 kids and had always dreamed of competing in the INBA comps in Australia. I had never touched weights at this point and he showed me how to train properly and my way around a gym. We used to train together very regularly. Then I moved away and did other shit but still kept up with gym. He was my best friend. Always encouraged me in gym even when he was unable to make it himself. He got his degree in 2012 and was one of the happiest events of his life.
It was his birthday on the 30th of November.
He died on the 27th. Not even 35. I will still train hard man, to keep your memory. See you on the other side.
