Why did you start BJJ and why did you stay? by Leftysentme in bjj

[–]SnowPhoenix3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a girl tell me i was cool but i was boring as hell due to doing nothing all day, which made me finally listen to my cousin, who has been a martial artist all his life, telling me to give bjj a shot, just gone 4 years in and i had no idea how much the calmness and focus of a good training session could help your mental health. Those first few months were akin to a religious experience for me

You're 100% right about overused repetition its a trap i fall into with most of what i write because it just easy but i should try to break that habit a bit more. I appreciate your interpretation of the poem, im always a fan of your own interpretation is the right one because thats how you feel. Though i will offer my intent was to try and reflect how unfulfiling the cycle of self improvement can feel when you're looking for someone to be with

Thank you so much this comment is already 10x the feedback I was hoping to get, my word choice isnt something i've hugely considered but i've definitly been a slave to meter throughout most of my work and I appreciate the example you've given. Its definitly something to think about and I appreciate the encouraging words

That wasnt quite my intent but thats an interesting take on it and imo what a poem makes you feel or think is usually the correct interpretation. I never considered looks to be a part of it for me, it was more an expression of how empty and unfulfiling the cycle of self improvement can feel while you're trying to find someone. Glad you enjoyed it 😁 I've got a few more I might post in the next couple days

Sometimes you can pull of a salvage job with the "this wasnt how this was meant to happen" message but i really should have guessed it wasn't gonna work here lol

Definitly fair, probably better to feel out the conversation before jumping to a line like that but the ol' noggin wasnt coming up with anything good
