kira kira by Cynthia Kadohata

read this book as a 14 year old and felt my mind physically expand and comprehend mortality :00 re-reading it as an adult it hits even harder. it feels like a warm summer night where everything feels incredibly still! 10/10 timeless read, definitely grounds the soul :))

“Heat and light” by ellen van neerven

it’s been a while since i read it, but it’s a really beautiful collection of Aboriginal magical realism. van neerven’s prose is beautiful and all the stories are haunting, and approach colonial, environmental, and queer issues in a really powerful way. exploring contemporary issues through magical realism always gets to me - so full of yearning!!!!! so wistful and angry and heartbreaking!!

Getting a glass of wine by yourself while you wait for your takeout

It’s Friday night and I’m off work late with no plans but I felt like being out in the world, even if for a moment. Turns out, a low stakes glass of orange wine tastes great when you’re waiting for a $10 burrito platter from down the street.

dear pi.fyi writer,

I’ve spent so much time scrolling on this app that I’m able to discern some of your writing voices. There are a couple of you who have such a developed voice that I can guess you wrote a post before seeing the attached username. You’re all so observant, introspective, delusional, earnest, anxious, well-rounded, hilarious and loving. Kind of breaks my heart that I’ll likely never meet some of my favorites because we all live everywhere, but I guess that’s why we thank God for the Internet!

NOT WEARING HEADPHONES IN PUBLIC

I‘ve always been an adamant listener of music while on walks, at a cafe, etc. but recently I’ve feeling more anxious, more disconnected than usual. Not listening to music has helped me feel significantly more grounded, more aware of my surroundings, connected to the world around me. Also, strangers will definitely be more inclined to speak to you if they know you can hear them. If you’re into that sort of thing.
