Eventually you'll die inwardly if you don't speak up
Best to be most publicly authentic version of yourself now and face the blowback that comes — you'll be freer and live a more joyful life
You ARE your social identity, and you're never fully built! Actualization is a cycle, not an end goal. The right people/places let you share without thinking. True comfortability comes with no need for analysis. It just is! Express yourself in spaces that value you as a person, not a character.
General rule of thumb though: you're going to die whether you speak or not. Which choice brings you the most peace?
talk a little too much and a little too loud. laugh for too long or too hard. don’t worry so much about how everyone’s perceiving you, stop preforming for an imaginary audience, not every interaction needs to be dissected. it’s okay to not always be defensive, tell people you love them, throw all your cards out on the table once in a while - the stakes aren’t always that high.
remembering to get outside of my own silly head and actually live is hard sometimes.
this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing
