accepting that two things can be true at once

i know its mind blowing. but we need to accept the complexities of life. you can not think in a binary yes or no black and white fashion. you will never find perfection, things can be super awesome and also suck a bit. someone can make you insanely happy and also sad. you can hurt someone and they can hurt you too. when you learn to sit in the discomfort of the inbetween you can actually look at the issues that surround you and all their layers and nuances and perhaps.. even begin to work through them. sometimes you're over something yet it stings u every day. many contradictory things can be true at once!!!

UNBALANCE SCALE

life isn’t about balance it shifts between lows and highs, both important, neither to be ignored but i don’t feel most at peace when i am in the middle of the two, perfectly balanced i am at peace when i accept i am where i am i exist as a teetering scale constantly shifting never resting never falling apart (i am tired of crashing out)

On living

"But I live in my own light, I drink back into myself the flames that break from me." nietzsche watching the swirling pond funnel into an abyss and then fill back up again. Eternal act of failure and birth. Go easy on yourself. Its Wednesday just fucking chill.

Never changing

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 somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was 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 💌

Rejecting the Commodification of the Self

I’ve 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 vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but 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 misinterpretation—preconceived 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 image—selfies, 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 there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics. By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something 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. I’ve 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? It’s a question worth considering.
