Years ago, if a friend of mine was experiencing trouble at work or school or with their partner/other friends and asked me for advice or vented, I would very easily default to āquit!ā or ādrop outā or ādump their ass you deserve better king/queen/my liegeā
And as a result, no one improved, in fact we backslid into becoming reactive or destructive and eventually, bore no patience with one another because there was no good ground to stand on
Life has gotten better since I and others stopped abandoning ship at any sign of discomfort.
Donāt let your friends destroy their lives because you give them a stamp of approval!

Feeling wronged by a former lover? Tell them, then just let that shit go.
Friend made a flippant comment that upset you. Just tell them and move on with the friendship instead of letting things build.
Hold people to a higher standard. As long as youāre not hurting anyones feelings.

If someone looks at his phone while talking to you: stop the conversation immediately
If someone is late for a meeting more than twice: cut the friendship.
If someone doesnāt reply to a personal email: forget this person.
Curate all the people who only talk about food, vacation places and gym routines out of your live.
If you need help for whatever reason and a friend checks his calendar first itās not a friend.

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 somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas 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 š

Iāve 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 vapidāa critique often rooted in misogynyābut 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 misinterpretationāpreconceived 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 imageāselfies, 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 thereās another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. Itās refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, Iāve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentionalāsomething 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. Iāve 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? Itās a question worth considering.
