Mathias Steiner Kind of Love: Not for the Weak

 Alright, listen up. Love these days? Pathetic. Flimsy. Lighter than a Pinterest aesthetic. People want a soft, easy, commitment-free, “let’s see where this goes” kinda love like, bestie, where do you think it’s going? The trash? Because that’s where all these half-baked relationships end up.

Me? Nah. I want Mathias Steiner kind of love. The life-altering, knee-buckling, fight-the-laws-of-physics kind. The kind that doesn’t just exist but shatters, rebuilds, and reshapes reality itself.


For those living under a rock ,Mathias Steiner is an Olympic weightlifter. In 2008, he did something absolutely insane. He lifted way more than he should’ve been able to not for clout, not for a medal, but for love. His wife had passed away, and he carried her memory like it was woven into his muscles. He lifted 432 pounds like his soul was on fire.

That’s real love. That’s love that isn’t just some “good morning” text and a couple of cute date nights. That’s love that defies human limits. The kind that turns devotion into action, loss into legend. The kind that doesn’t flinch, doesn’t waver, doesn’t run when things get heavy.

Love Today? Pure NPC Behaviour.

The way people approach love in 2025 is straight-up embarrassing. NPC(non player character, someone who followa trends or opinions without thinking critically)energy. People want a relationship with zero effort, zero weight, zero pressure. They want a situationship they can put on their Instagram story like a new aesthetic accessory.

"Love should be easy!" Yeah? And I should be a billionaire by now, but here we are.

Love isn’t easy. It’s earned. It’s breaking down in the dark of the night, sitting in silence because words are failing, but still choosing to stay. It’s knowing they’re annoying as hell but choosing them anyway. It’s knowing that love isn’t just a feeling ,it’s a battle. It’s work. It’s showing up when it’s inconvenient, when it’s exhausting, when it hurts.

And yet, people today flinch at the first inconvenience. One tough conversation, one off day, and they’re ready to ghost like they weren’t just crying over “how different this feels.” Pathetic.

No Cardio, No Casual. Heavy Lifting Only.

Modern love is just emotional cardio.quick, repetitive, exhausting. People run from person to person, no stamina, no loyalty, just pure impulse. But I don’t want a relationship that’s just fast and fun.


I want a powerlifting, soul-bonding, heavy-duty, “drop the bar and it shatters the floor” kind of love. A love that makes you sweat, shake, and still say, “Let’s go again.” A love that drags you to your limits, breaks you down, and builds you stronger. Because at the end of the day? If love doesn’t feel like pushing past your limit in a room full of doubters, if it doesn’t feel like screaming in victory against every odd stacked against you then what’s even the point?


If love was a final boss fight, are you gonna drop the sword and run? Or are you gonna throw your whole soul into it, armor cracked, health bar low, still fighting like it’s life or death?


Because that’s what love actually is.A war you refuse to lose. A test of willpower. A story worth telling.


And if your love story isn’t worth telling,why are you even writing it?


Love is Heavy. Lift It Anyway.


Mathias Steiner didn’t lift for the gold. He lifted because he had no other choice. Because love had burned itself into his bones. That’s what I want. A love that doesn’t waver, doesn’t weaken, doesn’t drop the weight.


I don’t want a love that’s soft, temporary, or just “seeing where this goes.” I want a love that demands everything, takes everything, and gives back tenfold. I want love that isn’t just passionate,it’s feral, reckless in its certainty, raw enough to tear apart anything in its way. The kind of love that doesn’t just stand the test of time,it laughs in its face.


Because in the end? Love isn’t supposed to be easy. It’s supposed to be worth it.

PROLOGUE: The Great Blur — A Symphony of Silent Thought

 Ever been so far inside your head that the world outside starts to fade like a half-erased chalkboard? Not your typical “oops, zoned out in class” kind of thing. No. I mean completely gone. Like someone slowly turned the volume of life down to zero and all that’s left is the echo of your own thoughts. And even they don’t feel like yours anymore. They feel smarter. Wiser. Too heavy to have come from you. Almost like your brain borrowed them from a library that only opens when your soul’s on fire. It starts small. A blink too long. A breath too deep. You’re staring at a wall, but it’s no longer a wall. It’s a movie screen for your mind to project the chaos it’s been hiding. Your eyes are open, but they’ve stopped seeing. People are talking. Life is moving. But you? You’re stuck in a thought that doesn’t have edges. It goes on and on. And you fall into it like Alice, except there’s no Wonderland. Just the truth. And the truth is… terrifyingly beautiful. Because in that moment, you’re...

Whispers that stayed.

 One day, like any other, I went on a run till the Lalbagh Botanical Garden. Running had become a sort of ritual for me a way to feel alive, to push myself, to be alone with my thoughts yet surrounded by the world. I love sunrises and sunsets, the way they slowly take over the sky, painting everything in warmth. I love the stars and the moon, the way they watch over us in silence. Nature has always felt like home to me,the lakeside, the rustling leaves, the calming roar of a waterfall. And most of all, I love people and their stories. That’s probably why I enjoy talking to people so much hearing about their lives, their triumphs, their losses. But the ironic thing? The moment someone asks about me, I go on a tangent. I distract them, lead the conversation somewhere else. Not because I don’t have stories.I have plenty but because I don’t know why I never want to "open up" that well when it's about me. It’s annoying, really. I’ve been told that. And yet, here I am, always s...

How to Outwork the Noise

 Some people chase peace like it’s a prize,others just build it inside their silence and guard it like a dragon. The world’s obsessed with being seen, but the funny thing is, the ones who actually do something worth seeing are usually too busy to wave their arms for attention. Funny how the loudest ones usually have the least to say, right? See, hard work isn’t romantic. It’s not a montage. It’s messy, ugly, repetitive. It’s the sound of you talking yourself out of quitting at 2 a.m. when your dreams look more like delusions. The people who make it aren’t magical, they’re just the ones who didn’t fold when the world got loud. Spoiler alert,there’s no background music when you’re dying inside but still grinding. Focus is rebellion. In an age where everyone’s screaming, choosing silence is almost violent. You stop feeding the noise, and the noise starts panicking. It’s hilarious. Everyone wants to know why you’re so calm, why you’re not reacting, why you’re not explaining yourself to...
