Was crying a little bit (Iām okay Iām just going through it) and he stopped what he was doing to come and comfort me. Heās usually too self-centered to notice or care when Iām feeling upset and basically the only time heās ever acted empathetic before was when I was walking him and slipped on ice and fell and he yelped like he was the one who had gotten hurt. I love my little guy itās been a long road to him becoming a dog but heās getting there ā¤ļø if youāve never had a puppy before let me just say itās RUFFā¦

I live away from my dog (anti-rec fyi) and any time Iām home and get to hang out I love to watch him toil away at his little jobs and hobbies. Heās really working hard on chewing his toys, using his paws like hands, and smiling with his bottom teeth, and after a long day he sleeps tucked in the bed like a little human with the knowledge that he did his best all day.

itās true what they say about rescuing a dogāyou can literally see how you changed their lives everyday and they may be the only creature in the world who knows how to properly show appreciation

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š

Iāve been thinking about how much of social media is centered around curating our self-image. When selfies first became popular, they were dismissed as vain and vapidāa critique often rooted in misogynyābut now, the way we craft our online selves feels more like creating monuments.
We try to signal our individuality, hoping to be seen and understood, but ironically, I think this widens the gap between how others perceive us and who we really are. Instead of fostering connection, it can invite projection and misinterpretationāpreconceived notions, prefab labels, and stereotypes. Worse, individuality has become branded and commodified, reducing our identities to products for others to consume.
On most platforms, validation often comes from how well you can curate and present your imageāselfies, aesthetic branding, and lifestyle content tend to dominate. High engagement is tied to visibility, not necessarily depth or substance. But I think spaces like PI.FYI show that thereās another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. Itās refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, Iāve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentionalāsomething that contributes to the story I want to tell rather than defining it. Sharing less allows me to express who I am beyond appearance.
For women, especially, sharing less can be a radical act in a world where the default is to objectify ourselves. It resists the pressure to center appearance, focusing instead on what truly matters: our thoughts, voices, and authenticity. Iāve posted a handful of pictures of myself in 2,500 posts because I care more about showing who I am than how I look.
In trying to be seen, are we making it harder for others to truly know us? Itās a question worth considering.
