QUESTION YOUR NAME
I really believe our names shape our lives. not just what people call you, but how the world sees you, responds to you, reflects you back to yourself. If mine was different, I don’t think I’d be the same person at all. maybe nothing around me would be the same either. It sounds unhinged but I don’t care. and yeah, it keeps me up at night more than it should

I think about this all the time! Especially because I have an incredibly common name and it feels strange that it’s my name, but also it isn’t really.

@OLAFTHESWEDE Imagine putting 100 people with your name in a room and comparing lives. Same name, totally different stories… or maybe not

IT’S A PLAY ON MY LAST NAME
And I felt lucky that it wasn’t taken when I joined the app. It’s also a signature part of my personality. Embracing my childhood name-call curse for the better. Weird is good!

I always wished i had a more exciting first name
I have a very traditional biblical name as some of you may know and i was sad that it was entirely un-nick-namable but I think it suits me and my personality now. My parents almost named me Kirsten and I sometimes wonder if I would be different if they had gone with that… and I LOVE when little old southern ladies say my first name and middle name together especially if they preface it with a Miss. my last name is actually too unique, hyphenated, and ridiculously long and was embarrassing to me for most of my life but I’ve found peace with that too and wouldn’t change it for anything 🫶

It's my name
the lore isn't that deep buuuuuuut reading everyone's responses reminded me that, around the time i was 25, i read something about trolls and online communities, and how the best spaces are the ones where people feel accountable to each other. i think anonymity plays a big influence in that, so i use my real name online because i want to normalize doing so, and also because i want to reduce the distinctions between online eth and irl eth. what you see is what you get

IF YOU’RE NEW HERE OR JUST LURKING, STICK AROUND.
this is one of the few places online that actually feels good to use. I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much, but it’s thoughtful, chill, and way more human than the usual social apps.

TOO TIRED TO THINK!
Honestly, most people I know aren’t really thinking about it that deeply. Everyone’s just tired, and if AI helps get stuff off their plate quicker, they’re gonna use it.

SAY YES TO CHAOS FOR A WHILE. LET LIFE GET WEIRD!
Lately I’ve been diving headfirst into things I’d usually ignore. random creative ideas, new communities, reading things I’d usually scroll past. Not all of it makes sense, but something about the mess feels electric. It’s not clarity, but it’s motion. And sometimes that’s all you need to shake things up. PS: Just personal stuff, not work.
