What's wonderful about my friends: we get it wrong and we say sorry we get it right and gently invite the other to join we are imperfect, in process, seeing progress
different, carrying unique gifts, appreciating where we end and the other begins

I feel this with my friends as well, and this was such a nice way to put it.

That when we see old friends reunited outside of an airport, we get it.  We get that we are all in this together, this gorgeous, scary, magical thing called life that keeps on happening, keeps on going. That no matter what, some characters come back to meet us, and we are forever changed. And it is just like that, worldwide. And when we are little we know so little of it. And the older we get, the less it becomes known; what this is all about. But we are in it, together.

By far one of the most transformative skills I’ve learned and am learning. Too often we‘re trying persuade someone to be more like us, or we’re hiding our true feelings to fit in with someone else, but not everything in life requires compromise or consensus. Sometimes you can simply say, “Oh, you want something different? I hope you enjoy that! I’m going to do something else over here.”
You can be different, have different perspectives, make different choices, and it doesn’t mean you can’t be friends, lovers, or partners. It just means you’re individuals!
Only by finding the borders of our differences is intimacy truly possible. Then I know where I begin and you end. Then our compatibility isn’t based on sameness but the skillfulness by which we can honor each other’s unique selves.

...apply that as needed. With every new connection lies the inevitable goodbye.
But everyone in the world is a little like and unlike everyone else. There is a wonderful sense of learning in that, and seeing how the patchwork of their personalities are inspired/evolved/derived from others-though it can be tiring to keep at it, which has become the sign for me to take a break, be with myself etc etc.

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

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
