I honestly don’t do much with my hands it’s sad and pod person like of me but I can type at 140 wpm. I USED to play viola, draw, paint and collage (see pictured, I got really into using rough-edged masking tape as an harsh accent at one point) and I would love to pick these things back up. I loved to do journals that were like a scrapbook where I would affix little mementoes and papers and things.
Thinking about getting into gardening in alignment with my ancestral legacy… getting in touch with my roots one might say. I always enjoyed propagating potting and planting plants/seeds with my dad growing up.

I’ve danced my whole life and I do it constantly, doesn’t matter if music is playing, the rhythm lives within me. I’d love to get back into classes or a troupe of some kind. Now it’s nightly dance parties with my spawn, which is a really fun way to get that pre bedtime energy burst out.
I also make hand drums with my husband and we sell them on the side. It’s a ritualistic and meditative process. It’s taken a bit of a backseat for me because my time is split mothering two small children, but when I get the opportunity I cherish it.
I love baking, gardening, yoga, and reading, as many people do. The PI.FYI book club has been great for me. I’ve had dreams of picking up crocheting or knitting but honestly, I’m not patient enough to learn. I can do basic sewing but want to up those skills as well. Is reading tarot considered a hobby? Because I do that, too.
Wow, just typing it out makes me feel so grateful 🥲

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 somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was 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 💌

I’ve 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 vapid—a critique often rooted in misogyny—but 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 misinterpretation—preconceived 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 image—selfies, 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 there’s another way: where connection is built on shared ideas, tastes, and interests rather than surface-level content. It’s refreshing to be part of a community that values thoughts over optics.
By sharing so few images of myself, I’ve found that it gives others room to focus on my ideas and voice. When I do share an image, it feels intentional—something 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. I’ve 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? It’s a question worth considering.
