i decided to bike around with an old route i used to whereabout as a child since i’m a litol down 🥺
for me, visiting a childhood spot/playground is sentimental and it heals a piece of your inner child in some way. (at least for me, might not be for everyone)
i like wall climbing as a working adult now so that after biking around, i remember that this is the first place i tried a mini wall climbing here as a child.
got teary-eyed because i‘ve been feeling a stranger to myself lately and some old places will remind you of the good times, who you used to be, and that no matter how different times are, you’ll remember how you used to like the stuff you’ve been doing now and/or before. i can’t help but to remind myself, it was there all along.

got lunch at a cafe i used to go to all the time but haven't been back to in a few years since i moved out. walking around and seeing all the stuff i remember made me a bit sad but also made me realize i should make more of an effort to go back.

hear me out on this one - i got a bit lost on a walk recently and ended up getting caught in a rosebush, and later that day ended up skinning my knee in a race against some friends because i was going downhill way too fast (i won so all is fair in love and war i guess) and just. something about getting childish minor injuries like scraped knees and bruises and scratches from little misadventures makes me feel so nostalgic? i feel like a five year old girl climbing trees and falling out of them again. i kind of miss it.

the most therapeutic experience i think ive ever had has been revisiting minecraft worlds from when i was a kid.
i went through a really difficult time last january (messy breakup, shitty dorm life, health complications, family drama, social isolation, everything kind hit me at once lol) and it was so nice at a time where everything felt so complicated to be reminded of simpler times.
i had brought my old xbox with me to college and for some reason or another i loaded up minecraft and scrolled the world selection screen all the way to a world i made with my brother and sister nearly ten years ago. we all live in different corners of the country now and i haven’t seen them in ~2 years at this point. i walked through the farm, boat racing tracks, rollercoasters, and houses we’d built for ourselves and just started crying.
in other worlds there are memories with friends i might never speak to again, high school crushes ill definitely never speak to again, and family i miss dearly all bundled up in a game that takes up just a couple of gigabytes on my xbox. survival worlds started during a sleepover and then quickly abandoned, creative worlds set aside for statues or houses with redstone wired lights, and a sea of worlds empty and abandoned with nothing in them at all.
i think revisiting those worlds and those memories gave me some much needed closure on things.
i still go back to my old worlds every once in a while and walk around, and im so grateful to have them to look back on and see how far ive come.

It’s my birthday! 🥳 And there’s no better place to announce it than here—PI.FYI just feels like a big group hug, and somehow, announcing my birthday here feels safe and kinda lovely. 🫶
Another year of getting influenced by all of you (from the simple stuff to the cool stuff), and honestly, life just feels richer because of this place. 💙 Big love to @TYLER for creating the best corner of the internet!! I LOVE U AND PI.FYI 🤟✨

It’s sweet and sentimental—you’re up, ruminating and thinking just like when your taking yourself with a good walk, but with less physical activity.
++ you can reflect with a good song and hear the sound of the bus moving, in transit.
