the tannins in tea make me barf and herbal teas also make me want to barf. As a caffeine crackhead tea also just does not hit so I prefer bean water over leaf water. But I LOVE a matcha, earl grey, or chai latte they are such a treat!!!

in my old age (almost 26) i am realizing i enjoy tea more over coffee. i never thought this would happen. i only need the amount of caffine from half a cup of coffee. earl grey has the same effect as a full cup and doesn't make me feel like i am going to vibrate out of my skin. oolong and rooibos are the most delicious flavors on earth. i cr*am my pants every time i find a place that makes a GOOD chai latte. anyone else discovering the many earthly delights of tea? share ur favs <3

I cannot hack coffee. I am pathetic and British so maybe the need for Tea as hot drink of choice makes sense. However, I have never felt like I'm missing out, because of the vast range of teas available. Want a little caffeine boost? An English breakfast, or an Earl Grey for a more perfumey flavour should do the trick. (Personally I save English breakfast tea for home consumption, and treat myself to any other type of tea when out but never in the home. It's an important separation). A herbal tea, like a red fruit or camomile can take me depending on my mood. Lots of choice without the anxious jitters !

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.
