its kind of like a little shoppy shop if you really put your mind to it there is wonder to be discovered within. for example when you find the mini cheese ends that are like $2

a lot of people don't realize that whole foods has a robust nationwide mutual aid program for giving free goods to community members like you. when you pay for your groceries, instead of going to a cashier, you simply go to the area called "self-checkout" and you're actually able to bag your own items. that means less work for the workers and gives you a little more autonomy in your shopping experience. i usually end up saving a lot of money this way too!

It‘s also the closest grocery store to me and I’m literally there all the time. I get one of the entree with two sides meals like twice a week. Tbh, it’s cheaper than getting dinner out from anywhere else but obviously I end up getting more stuff I don’t need to spend money on while in there. The parking lot also has free wifi all day and night so when the things in my house were particularly crazy I used to go there to Facetime with my best friend. Truly all roads lead back to Whole Foods for me

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 💌

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.
