I’ve been going to the gym for the past year. I can see some difference hehe but specially, I feel stronger. I’ve gained 5 pounds, and I look better. In the second photo you can see a before photo when I started and I looked boxier (sorry I dont have any better ones from when I started). Don’t be afraid to gain weight and lift heavy! These past 6 months I’ve really pushed myself on the lifting and if I had to tell you one thing I’ve learned is that the weight needed to really progress is way more than you think. I write down what I lift every session and it helps a lot.

As for food, I don’t count calories but I aim for healthy meals and protein in every big meal I have.

I go to the gym about 4-5 times a week to lift weights. I don’t do cardio tbh.

Sometimes I hear you in the quiet life of insects
a soft hum that carries me into sleep
it’s been so long since the nightmares ended
and now I only find you in summer dreams.

Sometimes when adapting something into English, it feels like a reflection on muddy water instead of a mirror. Or when translating from English into Spanish. I don’t particularly like the way they reflect each other. It makes me wonder whether feelings distort in translation too. I sometimes think I should never translate and just let feelings, poems and thoughts exist as they were born. Personalities, dreams, songs. Can there be two people inside the same brain?
