A close friend of mine visiting for the weekend had expressed his desire to participate in Love the Pudge.
We had spoken about his interest in the project a couple of weeks prior to his visit. It was in this conversation that he revealed to me his frequent battle with the physical capacities of his own body.
"I just wish it was better", he told me. In my opinion, I see nature physically granting this individual a great hand. Muscular, tall, and physically fit, it seems like he could conquer any obstacle placed before him.
Regardless, in his mind, there are a host of things hindering the perfection he desires. Although I will most likely never learn what his image of "physical ideality" looks like, this insecurity stands as another intriguing and important example of the LTP movement.
