adding to the tapestry of this community
i know for a fact that i’m guilty of wanting that dopamine hit of having people see my posts and like them, but i’m trying to change my mentality around that here. i’m finding myself more at peace just posting my recommendations and taking solace that someone might find them in the future and enjoy what i suggest, rather than needing an instant gratification of a like. i feel as though i’m adding a brick to the communal building that is this cool userbase of interesting people.

Honestly because when I would post on instagram I feel so much pressure to get likes and for eveything to be perfect but on here it’s more like a blog I can talk about what I want when I want and people can join if they want to as well. This place is so comforting compared to a lot of other social media plat forms!!!

I came here with a mentality of "this is basically just talking to yourself" and my posts have been doing good which is comforting actually

lanzalasalagua for me, i view this place as like a cookbook, that everyone can write in and read each other’s recipes for happiness. it feels good to know other people like what you write, but i’m finding myself happy just knowing i have a recipe that someone might find delicious someday in the future 🥘

Yessss! I feel the exact same! Somehow here I'm not numbing my brain in the same way. I really enjoy the interactions I have with others on this platform 😌

who am i posting for?
ngl i get a dopamine rush when one of my posts gets over 10 likes 🤣just like any other social media I tend to care too much about what people think of me and how I want to be perceived.. what I like about this site is nobody knows me so I don't necessarily care what anyone thinks about my posts.. yet I enjoy when people agree with my posts and like them!! like wow yup #GoodPost #GoodThought !!! but I have to remind myself that its really doesn't matter. I joined so I could post for myself and have an outlet for my ideas, reviews, etcccc 💯 as long as I don't let it affect what I chose to post I should be good... 👍🏻 anyways thank you for liking my posts 🤪

APPRECIATING ALL 7 LIKES
I use to feel like I needed to have a certain amount of likes to feel deserving of posting what I wanted but pi.fyi has really made me feel free and more appreciative of people taking the time to see and like what I post, even if it’s only a few. :)

taking up space
i keep finding myself feeling embarrassed when i post a lot on this app, but im having fun!!! and the genuineness of humans in this weird little online community is filling such a void in me that began to stop believing that people really are Good and Kind. in other words, i’m grateful for everyone here and i’m going to keep flooding this silly little app with my silly little words

giving yourself a present every day
“everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. don’t plan it, don’t wait for it. just let it happen. it could be a new shirt at the men’s store. a catnap in your office chair. or two cups of good, hot black coffee.” in heaven everything is fine rest in peace david lynch..

The previously unreleased music of twin peaks
in honor of david’s passing, today is a great day to listen to all the incidental music and various versions of songs from twin peaks that never received an official release until 2011 when david released them as part of the twin peaks archive. some of my personal favorites are all the versions of audrey’s dance/dance of the dream man with different solo instruments. thank you angelo and david for some of the best music ever written for television!
