muscle

Description

Muscle is the tissue that ignores your instinct to rest, inflicting self-damage to lift heavy burdens. Though celebrated as a symbol of beauty, it is nothing more than an endless cycle of microscopic tears and repairs. Praised as proof of effort and pain, much of that accolade serves only self-gratification and showing off. Muscle binds a person to both the freedom of movement and the captivity of pain.

Definitions

• The tissue that enforces self-inflicted pain under the guise of self-actualization.
• A storage that supports an ideal reflection while accumulating pain and fatigue behind the scenes.
• Revered as a metric of fitness, yet the most unstable source of self-esteem.
• Existing to resist gravity, yet recording countless moments of succumbing.
• A trophy of training that doubles as a bomb whose overexpectation causes destruction.
• A preacher that mystifies microscopic tears and falsely proclaims self-sacrifice as virtue.
• An agent that promises eternal dissatisfaction by delivering both growth and detachment.
• A memory filter that celebrates wins while erasing the agony that led there.
• A photo-worthy badge of achievement that weeps in darkness each night.
• A self-proclaimed symbol of autonomy that collapses without rest.
