It’s been years since I’ve had social media, having denounced it all and created a Neocities website until I inevitably became too lazy to manage it. But I’m glad I stumbled upon Perfectly Imperfect! It reminds me of everything I used to enjoy about social media. Everyone on here seems really chill too, which is a plus lol

I’ve always resented the expectation that I be placed in neat little categorized boxes—hashtag this, hashtag that—and it feels nearly impossible for me to curate my existence into a narrow niche with some kind of projected image in mind. I think I get this from my father, a brilliant fine art abstract wood and stone artist who, for better or worse, has never found commercial success or mainstream acclaim because of his stubborn refusal to market himself or package his work as a product. 
The words “content” and “influencer” send a chill down my spine. I’ve historically been unable to use TikTok because I break out into hives at the mere thought of it. Call me Holden Caulfield for this but I hate being told what to do by anyone—but especially by algorithms. 
I never thought there would be a place online for somebody like me until I found Perfectly Imperfect, a community of bright, creative, empathetic and open-minded people who also don’t seem to fit into a box and have grown tired of and morally opposed to legacy social media. It feels like what Tumblr felt like ten years ago. I am so happy to be able to express myself fully and share my idiosyncrasies. The minor demon that possesses me has now surpassed 3,000 recommendations in a little less than a year—I have a lot to say.

What I really enjoy so far with Perfectly Imperfect is its humility and presentation - I feel like these last 4-5 years platforms like Instagram, twitter (Will never call it x fuck you elon!) and even Tiktok to an extent feels like dead internet and I feel like the most important thing about being online is being as authentic to you as possible. I live by a code " to deem one as cringe is truly cringe themselves" or like the platform says perfectly imperfect :)

Thought my eyes were bugging out from being on here for so long but it appears they did not deceive me.

Honestly, as a fellow person who's going through a lot right now, what keeps me sane is self-reassurance and affirmations. It's a learned behavior, and I understand a lot is easier said than done. But ultimately you will always have yourself, so you need to be patient and kind to your mind. Treat yourself as you would a good friend or family member. Again, it's easier said than done, but practice makes perfect, I promise you that. Take it one day at a time. Believe that everything happens for a reason. Even if things look bleak, a door always closes for another to open. If you feel isolated, finding someone you trust and reaching out to them for consolation can be cathartic, whether it be a human or a pet. If all else fails, Lexapro is pretty damn good, too.
