honestly not even mad about the self interest and narcissism stats. i grew up as a massive people pleaser and have done a lot of work to get over those tendencies so this to me is low key positive self growth lol 🥹

This feels right. I definitely prefer to lead by positive influence rather than through dominance (D on the chart) and I am not a perfectionist or numbers person which would fall under conscientiousness (which is C). I would say that my positive encouraging highly collaborative attitude is a standout trait professionally! And interestingly enough my results on this since I last took it have changed—my strongest trait was steadiness before! I’ve taken on a leadership role so I have more information and context about the way I like to make decisions, handle situations, and work with groups of people! I think my confidence has improved too 🐣 (I googled my traits to find these little infographics. Feeling exposed right now by some of these traits listed especially the negative ones for influence…)

i don't think anyone ever intends to become a recreational ornithologist. but i've noticed that it definitely creeps up on you slowly in your mid-twenties. it starts with noticing how funny pigeons are, then learning pigeon lore, and suddenly you're feeding your neighbourhood birds every morning and buying books on birds. as a child i idolised the pigeon lady in home alone 2, and i woke up this morning and realised — i AM the pigeon lady 🐦

reading is a habit of building and developing your empathy and critical thinking skills. you’re forced to sit with an idea for however long you are reading it and forced to contextualise it and comprehend it within your own life and perspective. You can’t just scroll away or pause or put it on 2x speed. you have to sit with it. it’s super underrated, but genuinely I’ve made this a habit for the last year and feel like a totally different person. also you come out of it having learned something new or seeing the world in a slightly new way. I literally do not see any downsides to reading. make reading cool again! also you don’t have to do it in one big block, you can space it out — 15 mins here, 45 there — whatever works for you!

our cultural obsession with being perceived as cool is a disease. its peak capitalistic/consumerist propaganda. fuck being cool. like what you like and who cares if it's cool or not. it's tiresome and we need to leave it in 2024. literally nothing gives me the ick more than people who betray themselves in an attempt to be perceived as cool by the masses. be yourself — even if it means you're 'uncool'.
