Very boring

On weekdays I finish work at 6:00 pm because I set my schedule to start at 10:00 am. Then I walk my dog Benny and try to squeeze in yoga for 20-40 minutes if I can manage to not be lazy. I usually eat dinner between 8:00 and 9:00 pm and then I play scent games with Benny if he’s being crazy and still has too much energy and I watch YouTube videos. I make sure the windows and doors are locked and turn off any lights, then I water floss, brush my teeth, take a hot bath, languish, wash and moisturize my face, turn on my heated blanket and get into bed by like… midnight or 1:00 pm usually. The weekends are pretty much the same without the working part

trying to set one up

it’s always a bit different and a bit the same, i’m trying to be consistent so this is what i do. work ends at around 5 p.m. so i’m home at 6. i usually get myself a little treat or go for a walk. then i walk my dog Freddie and then have tea with my family. then this is the part where i’m not so consistent. if i have a show i’m currently into i’ll forget about everything and just watch it until it‘s midnight. so i’m trying not to do that. at around ten i’ll have a shower and do my skincare and stuff. then i just go to bed, read or watch something, maybe meditate.

🛌

Going to bed at 9:30 pm😶

I like to come home from work and eat dinner at like 5:30 go on a little walk Then I like to turn off all the harsh lighting and try not to listen to any sort of music higher than a certain BPM. And then I take a nice long shower and put my pjs on and either journal or read or play guitar. Usually end up falling asleep with the book in my hand so I have one of those little book nightlights that you clip onto the book itself so I don’t have to get up too much to turn off the lights. I don’t really go on my phone or check my messages as soon as I get out of the shower unless it’s to change the music I’m listening to (Ichiko Aoba or some soft jazz has been my favs recently). But whatever works for you! I find that winding down hours before sleep has always helped me so i don’t feel rushed in any way.

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 💌

Rejecting the Commodification of the Self

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.
