Every day, the same man comes to talk to me between sets. He greets everyone at the gym the same way and loves to critique fitness and talk about his family. Not everyone entertains him, which I find is sad. Today, he said something to me that I think...

He comes from a time when people actually talked to each other in person, socialized, etc. I got a comment from an older woman at my previous gym, probably my moms age. She wanted to tell me she saw and appreciated my progress, I had never met or seen this woman before. Women from prior generations have a different energy about them. Modern women don't do this, generally.

There is an energy that really can’t be explained with human connection. It’s lost online and will never be duplicated. Small gestures in real life matter more than we know.

Most certainly! Everyday he starts off with, “Did I tell you I’ve been coming to the gym everyday for 50 years?” Bless his heart.

Love this, Gia. I’ve found the older fellas in the gym are looking for community. The least we can do is offer a few minutes to make their day and share inspiration.

You have a good heart Gia! I wish everyone would be like this. I like when someone comes up and talks to me or asks for advice. Even though half the time it’s a 45 year old man saying “I used to look just like you when I was younger” and I never have the heart to tell them I’m 41 haha

It's astonishing to me that people spend six hours a day mindlessly scrolling social media or watching trivial content, yet struggle to engage with someone sharing a real-life story in real time?! This shift towards self-absorption in gym culture is concerning. Everyone has the same 24 hrs in a day, how you choose to use your time sets you apart from others.

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

#TAEYONG WEVERSE LIVE 🌹: "And there is one thing I’ve realized, that now when I’m alone, I don’t want to talk about the members anymore. Because I felt this even when I was in the military. Of course, I did do it a lot, but I think I came to think that talking about someone else when they aren’t around isn’t polite, no matter how much they are team members". 🌹: "We’re close and like brothers, but still, if you hear what you want to hear directly from the people involved, it’s much more comfortable for me, and I think it would be more comfortable for you all and the person involved too. (I’m trying not to talk about even that member’s TMI anymore. Actually, I did talk about it during the last interview. There was talk about the members, but because the other members might feel uncomfortable. I said that I wouldn’t talk about it. 🌹: "I asked for your understanding. So I hope you all understand. They did that for me . I hope you all understand, too. I think I regretted those things. Talking about the members' TMI or things like that in the past. They might have wanted to talk about it too, you know". 🌹: "And rather than just finding it fun for me to talk about, the people involved need to have something to say when they come. If I tell them everything, what are they going to talk about when they turn on the live stream again? If I tell them everything, they probably won't turn on the live stream at all. They won't even talk". *Pat pat* 🌹: "You all understand, right? Thank you" * Taeyong, I respect your decision. I hope those people who always do that can understand and respect your decision as well.

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it. I just turned to my operator - who was shaking- I looked over at the guy - I was like, “please tell me you got that.” Because that was the take. That was it. There was no other take - I mean, how do you tell an actor like that, that that wasn't good enough? …He walked over to me, and he just had this look in his eyes. I was like, “you good?” He said, “you good?” I said, “Yeah…” Some of that was in the script, but he flipped it the way he did it. "Putting cases on all you." He kind of added some things in there. And then he just went into a whole other zone with the whole King Kong thing- with Pelican Bay - Denzel started that. That was Denzel. That was him, man. He just kind of lit up, and I think I forgot to yell cut. I was just watching it, because everybody started walking away, and I'm just watching him, and then he lights a cigarette - and he's talking - and I'm just watching him. I think at some point he probably looked at me like, you going to cut? And I'm like, “oh yeah, yeah, cut.” He was still in it. That's the thing with Denzel. He was so Alonso…I'm just watching him for a while because I didn't know what else he was going to do. It was just so magical. And then I think he looked up at me and I was like, “Okay, cut, cut.”

“Lips in the Zipped Jacket” He said, “I have been hurt before and don’t trust easily. But there’s something about you that I can’t seem to ignore. Who are you, and where did you come from suddenly?” It’s like you just appeared in front of me and left me confused and dazed at the same time. May I ask your name? She said, “No need to tell you who I am, because my heart belongs to someone special.” He said, “Are you married?” She said, “No, but I am emotionally unavailable to give you anything because the heart that beats in my chest belongs to someone else.” He asked her, “And does this someone else feel the same way about you?” She paused and answered, “That’s private information I am unwilling to divulge. But all I know is that I wake up thinking about him and go to sleep thinking about him. Sometimes I see myself cuddling with him, and when I’m alone I feel his spirit near me.” He said, “That sounds like infatuated love.” She said, “Infatuated love is conditional, and it fades when the feeling is only temporary. But my heart has settled comfortably with this love.” He said, “Allow me to love you and show you real love.” She said, “There’s no such thing as real love. Like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, love can only be felt in the chest, that it beats. And sometimes you just don’t know why it beats the way it does.” He said, “If this is true, then give me a chance and let me love you. And all you have to do is wake up every day to be loved.” She said, “I am already loved.” He asked, “Who is this man who has captured your heart?” She said, “My heart belongs to the one who likes to hide his lips in his zipped jacket.” He said, “He is surely blessed.” She said, “No… maybe I am the blessed one.” He said, “No, trust me. He is blessed to have a loyal woman.” Song written by: Lily C. Alphonsis, PhD Video credit: Incomparable Lily
