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!

I love it here. If I don’t see my normal peeps for a few days, I start wondering where all of my friends are. I’ve even met some beautiful people IRL!!!!
I know I shared this on a post a while back, but it had been so long since I had Internet friends like this. I think that since this is not a photo or video forward app, it really helps with that. I like reading people’s thoughts. thank you for sharing them!

I like this place,
0r maybe it’s just refreshing to have a social media devoid of any actual social repercussions,..
BUT nevertheless i'm grateful to see people in all their forms.
you! mysterious stranger! you are beautiful in all your judgements and blessings and doubt and talent, it is a blessing to see you. even in a performative setting, I feel it is an honor to be here and see from this life what others have learned and lost.

I am going to speak on this both within the PI.FYI ecosystem and outside, in my real life. I consider myself to be gregarious in a way where I am often holding wonderful conversations with wonderful people who do not share my interests. By being immensely charming and well-spoken (or perhaps by having very very patient friends and acquaintances), I find myself able to talk about things I like without boring another person. I don’t think a lot of my taste is something that goes viral with people on this site, or is interesting to people who I get along with. I’m a gemini and I do feel the pull to try and alter myself to who I’m talking to, but I think the ability to just be earnest about yourself will get you way farther and help you develop much more meaningful relationships than just Mirroring Your Way Through Life. If you lead through life with a genuine desire to connect and care and make people leave the room feeling better, I don’t think it matters if you’re a geek or freak, I think it just matters that you were honest.
I’ve had one or two viral posts on PI.FYI, but the recs I’ve been most excited to write are for a comic book or video game. Those recs don’t get any likes at all. And honestly I think that’s perfectly fine, because beyond being just a platform to connect with earnest people, this is an archive of interests and personality. In 700 years when the digital museum archivists are sifting through all the internet servers that haven’t eroded, putting together The Final Digital Archive Of You or Somebody or Whatever, I put something out there that was a little bit honest. Though, I don’t think I have the impulse to leave behind a perfect digital representation of myself. I think the most important things in life are things you can’t leave behind, because they are moments that are meant to be forgotten when you and everyone you know are gone. But one day someone’s going to be in a boring university library sifting through my recs on Grant Morrison’s bibliography, and they’ll be Wondering Why I Felt That Way. And by and large they’ll know.

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.
