decidedly unlikely people to have pi.fyi so i think i'm safe to reveal this.....
apparently it's some old irish tradition where women were allowed to propose to men on the leap day!!! i'm glad we've grown as a society, but i think it's cute that she's seizing the opportunity.

High school sweethearts. Wife more or less made the first move / I asked her out officially / she asked me to prom / I proposed. We have always done a back & forth where it’s never felt like one person was always doing the initiating & the other was always doing the responding — we’ve gone back and forth. It’s nice. And yes, sure, I know the whole “isn’t it weird to meet someone when you’re a teenager and end up marrying them and not experience dating in your 20’s?” — NO IT IS AWESOME AND AMAZING AND I LOVE IT AND HER.

Having had the same wedding date for 17 years, it’s only fitting to use a cute pic of us. Also she refuses to get onto this app (“is that your little recs app?”) but I mention her often so I’m trying to build out a sense of mysticism around her, like she’s this baddie of a person that sort of exists. Also this might be old school but I think including her in my pfp sets a clear expectation that I’m married, which lets other people know to not act up (because my wife is small but she will kill you) but it also holds me accountable to be aware of boundary lines as to never come off as the “creepy guy who is making flirty comments with his wife in his pfp,” which my single friends tell me happens ALL THE TIME TO THEM.

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
