GTA VI comes out on November 19.
And honestly… I think this game accidentally became a deadline for my life.

A few months ago, my bloodwork genuinely scared me.
102+ kg.
42% body fat.
Low testosterone.
Severe Vitamin D deficiency.
High visceral fat.
Always tired.
Always bloated.
No confidence.
No discipline.
No control.

I used to stay awake till 3 AM scrolling reels, eating garbage, skipping gym, telling myself “I’ll start tomorrow.”
Then tomorrow became months.

I could literally feel my body getting worse.
My chest getting bigger.
My stomach tighter.
My energy disappearing.
And the worst part?
I’m only 21.
That hit hard.

Now GTA VI is 169 days away.
And instead of just waiting for release day like everyone else, I decided I’m going to transform during the countdown.

By the time I load into Vice City, I want to be unrecognizable.
Not just physically.
Mentally too.
I want to know what it feels like to:
wake up with energy
feel confident in clothes
not hate mirrors
have discipline
feel healthy again

Every gym session now feels like I’m grinding my own character stats before launch day 😭
No cheat codes.
No shortcuts.
No fat-loss injections.
Just consistency.
When GTA VI finally launches, I don’t want to be the same guy who wasted years waiting for life to begin.
I want the game to release…
and realize I already started mine.

PS: corrected grammar using AI

Just got my proper niche designer decants and I'm totally blown away 😭

Tried these:

• Initio Side Effect
• Amouage Interlude Black Iris
• Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privée

My thoughts as someone still figuring out their nose:

1. Amouage Interlude Black Iris

This fragrance is seriously over the top. It projects like crazy. It smells high-end and artistic but I don't think I'd wear it myself 😭

To me it smells like luxurious rainforest eucalyptus incense smoke. I have a lot of respect for it. I don't really enjoy it. It feels more like "art" than something I'd find attractive.

2. Gentleman Reserve Privée

This one smells classy and smooth. It's definitely elegant. The whiskey and iris vibe is really nice.. I was disappointed with how well it projected and lasted from the sample. Maybe the full bottle will perform better? It felt too soft compared to what I like.

3. Initio Side Effect

Whoa, what is this fragrance?

It literally smells like a mix of luxury, European nightlife and rich seductive warmth.

I could smell:

• Booze
• Sweetness
• Spice
• Tobacco
• Expensive aura 😭

The drydown was kinda powdery and creamy which I surprisingly loved. This one really hit me emotionally.

It also reminded me a bit of Khamrah Qahwa. Not in a clone kind of way.

Then I tried 1 Million Elixir at a store. I loved it. My girlfriend loved it too.

Now I think I've figured out my taste:

• spicy
• Boozy
• Sweet
• Seductive
• Loud projection
• Rich nighttime fragrances

It seems like I'm not really, into smoky incense masterpieces yet...

I'm thinking of getting 1 Million Elixir for my birthday.
