Legit question

After finetuning and giving it all morphs and lods, I think the custom torso I made for Finn is finally good - well, good for him: the "average guy" torso. Basically making the belly less flat and washboard-y.

(He's at muscle 0.8 so almost maxed out cus he needs biceps to carry his Whisp of light when they jump into his arms, but doesn't do like...deliberate gym-like exercises...Ever)

And my question is: should I put it up for download publicly? Would anyone be interested in a custom torso that isn't like, hunky or tough or buff or ripped? Is anyone interested in making their male sims be simply a bit pudgy and soft?

Genuine question, because it is sooooo niche I've really been torn on what I should do with it.

Try new things, step out of your comfort zone, take risks, do things in ways you've never done them before, ask for help, surround yourself with self-actualized people, become obsessed with the fact that you have one go-round on this planet as the you that is you, and realize how precious and important it is not to squander that. In order to be an icon, a few times you need to be bold. How do I define boldness? Stepping outside of your comfort zone.

You should not remain in your comfort zone; if you want to make it big, you must challenge yourself, get out of your comfort zone, and succeed in doing well outside of your comfort areas. In life, we should explore options outside our comfort zone.

Isn't Riches and Wonders by The Mountain Goats the most angsty post-Rumbling ReiJean song in existence?

Each verse has me in the chokehold, I can't stop thinking about the lyrics, damn you Spotify shuffle for playing this when I have things to do at work.

(cover by Eliza Rickman and Jherek Bischoff is excellent too)

Here's one for my fellow self-doubters:

If you ever find yourself stuck in the train of thought that everyone else is so much better than you at everything, just remember:

🔸️Everyone sucks at something.

🔸️They just don't share those things.

I love to draw, but while I've always wanted to, I've never had the discipline to learn how to draw anything realistic or lifelike. So, whenever I see gorgeous sketches or paintings of people/places/favorite characters, I feel like such a failure.

But you know what, I'm not. Maybe I never learned those things I dreamed I'd be great at by now, but I'm good at other things.

🔸️And that's enough.

(I was trying to sketch a dragon. It's been like ten years since I last attempted it.)

Trigger Warning: Heartbreak, emotional distress, self-doubt, and mental health struggles

I'm Nox, and I don't know if it's the full moon that's making me do this, but I want to start sharing these weird thoughts that come to my mind from time to time.

I held it back for a long time because there was always this little voice convincing me that everything I ever did, do, and will do is crap.

But my hard drive is full of words that will never be heard, and that's kind of sad.

I also noticed that life isn't endless, so I let sadness win this one time and try not to listen to fear—

Who is constantly telling me that this is a reeeeaaally bad idea, and that I probably should've set my hard drive back to factory settings years ago and never written a single word in my life ever again? But hey,

Better to die inside from being seen than never to be seen, right?

RIGHT???

Sooo—

This is what I wrote today:

I lost my heart on him.

Never knew what that even means.

I mean, despite the fact that it's so awfully cheesy, it’s making me nauseous—

What do you mean? "Lost it"?

You either decide to give your heart away, or you don't!

End of the story.

Nobody loses their heart without permission.

Right?

But now I see—

And now I feel.

That there was nothing I could do to keep my heart right where it stayed.

There was no choice.

No permission was given.

But still...

It's far away now.

Tell me, what should I do?

Did anyone else ever experience something like that?

Maybe if there's someone in a forum or anyone who...

Got to Google—

‘What to do if your heart got lost’

Thank you, Google, for recommending a marriage recovery center.

THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF MY PROBLEM!!!

Forgot that Google is trash nowadays—

Got another idea.

Wait a sec—

Okay, never mind.

ChatGPT gave me five addresses of psychologists.

Well, with very good reputations.

Maybe I should call one of them.

This woman here looks nice.

Uh, I like the coat she's wearing.

But did she ever have a patient who lost his heart?

Would she understand when I say that he means everything to me?

Or would she just call me obsessed?

I mean—

I really tried to keep my heart safe.

I made a cage made of steel.

Locked it in and never let it out.

But the heart just crushed the metal rods.

With a strength it thought it couldn't feel.

It broke the cage,

Effortlessly.

And then it got away.

I tried so hard to keep it locked,

Make sure that it would stay.

Make sure it couldn't come out. Make sure no one steals it

Or even touches it.

I can't take the risk.

I can't look—

Away.

Even for a second,

I'm—

A guard.

And my order is to bodyguard my heart.

Especially when it's dark,

When thieves tend to steal hearts.

But there was no thief.

No one stole it, no one captured it.

I...

I just lost it.
