One

[brutal]

"One is the lonliest number."

I sit here alone. No music, no TV, just me and my thoughts. For some, this is a problem. They reach out for anything to help - a person to talk to, a bottle, a drug. Anything to help them cope with the lonliness of being all by themselves. For me, this is peace. I am not disturbed by those around me who carry the burden that the world places on them, worrying about the amount of friends they have, the amount of money in their bank account, or the number of things they possess. Most people don't understand how one person can be so content - even happy - without all of this.

How do I do it? How do we do it? It's simple. What we have is something that you cannot see, that most cannot even understand. We're separate from the Joe Schmo's walking around every day worried about the weekend, worried about getting laid, or worried about what lies ahead.
It's the Animal inside is that drives us. Give us our food, our iron, and let us be.

The Animal inside me wants out - I do what I do every day to rip myself up and free the beast inside. Keep doing what you do, family.

Break free.

I hear ya bro!! The only things we worry about is eating, lifting, resting...its what defines us and what separates us from the rest. I have recently scheduled my workouts for the weekends and rest days during the week. When people ask me what I'm doing over the weekend....I just answer I have a hot and sweaty date on the weekends....WITH THE IRON!!!

Waking up 4am everyday made me realize how seriously different we are from everyone. The whole world is sleeping while I am taking down my AnimalPak with a nice 40 gram protein shake, and then I am off to the gym to train my ass off. When I get back I make my meals while my brothers and sisters continue staring at me the same way for the past few years. I have a feeling that stare will never change lol.

When I get to college I always see people in their nice small groups in the classes and let it be I got nuthing against it but when I walk by everyone quites down to look at me. I take out some noodles and chicken cutlets and I down my third meal of the day when most these people just ate a bloody donut for breakfast. Through out the whole day I just realized I am all alone. wow. Great post bro lol. I feel as if the bigger I get the more lonly I will become. Shit I have friends but I rarely talk to em. I just wish there would be a fuckin big ass Animal gym, then we Animals can all train together and chill like the pros back in the day.

If you really sit down and think about it, we aren't much different from everyone else on this forum. But yes, compared to everyone else, we are different to the maxxx.

dude, were all people here, no need to treat anyone differently just because you feel different from them. there is nothing wrong with the bodybuilding lifestyle, and there is nothing wrong from the typical lifestyle. some people wanna be big and strong, some people wanna do the same thing, but in the coroprate world, some people are depressed over something. no matter what though, always keep your head up, because keeping it down is just making whatever you feel worse, maybe its not a bad feeling.
To all you guys and girls out there that are feeling lonley, go and make some new friends, honestly, living your life alone is no fun, there is no reason that we as animals cant eat, lift, and have a social life on top of school and work and all that stuff, sure, its hard, but ya only live once.
hell, i am honestly in disbelief that you guys dont go out and drink, get laid, and party once in a while, its not like youre gonna die if you do
