Hello, World! Test Post

Hiya! My name's mathpunk. I'm not likely to post very often, but I've been making stuff on the internet on and off for years, and I've been wanting to write a personal blog for a very long time.

A little about me: I'm a math student, a musician, and a powerlifter. I struggle, as everyone does in pursuits like this, with all sorts of setbacks and difficulties. Recently, I've realized that these struggles are not only not unique, but not even a bad thing to begin with. Strikes and gutters are part of the human condition, and the dude abides, so to speak. The general theme of this blog is just that: that there are good times and there are bad times, there is gain and there is setback, and that that's perfectly fine. I even believe that it's a normal part of the process.

It's my hope that, by putting my wins and losses, progress and setbacks, thoughts and feelings, and other ramblings out into the world, someone somewhere might gain from this the way I have.

Today was pretty laid back, all I really did was go out shopping. However I did a really intense workout yesterday (yay!) and the day before that I was doing a lot of cleaning (which is surprisingly intense work), so I feel a bit like I got into a fight with a T-Rex. These are both important to my overall goals. I have been struggling with chronic pain since about 2023, and the more consistently I workout, the less it interferes with my studies. Things not being clean is just distracting, so I plan to get a lot of it done before I have to muscle down and focus on my studies again.

Unrelatedly: email me a list of your favourite music/bands/albums/etc. My email is my tilde username at tilde.team or fuckup.club. This machine runs on tunes!
