Swiping to type
This is one of my darkest most demented secrets is that I don’t type on my phone like a normal person I use my index finger like a geriatric and I swipe to type in kind of a spray and pray strategy where I just hope that it psychically understands what I mean and usually it does.
The real problem is that the dictionary learns from all of the times I’ve tapped out words with tooooo many letters to convey enthusiasm especially about my friends’ cats, my dog, etc sooooooo it’s like a minefield:
* orrr * Whyyyyy * whyyyy * Pleaseeee * HELPPPPPOO * himmmm * whattttt * WHATTT * Perfectttt * perfectttt * yesssssssss
Surely there must be some way to stop this and I simply never will.

This actually makes a lot of sense as to why you are able to type so fast

Weird (ios only?) keyboard behavior
Have noticed my typing here is an absolute sloppy mess and am wondering if it’s due to keyboard calls in the app or the tension that exists in the input window in how it deals with autocorrect vs formatting. Also when I “@“ people my cursor gets stuck to their name (I usually tag people as the last thing I do before sharing the rec or response to avoid cursor-ggedon). Using the app on a 14pro.

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 💌
