My body doesn’t always feel like this, this feeling is not new and it is not permanent. My body doesn’t always look like this, my body will not look like this tomorrow and it will not look like this forever. My body will shift and change in the ways it needs to, to maintain balance, to keep me healthy, to keep me safe. I am so lucky to have this body that works and works hard. I am so lucky to experience this life through a vessel that I love and that loves me back.

I think the value of your body lies so much outside of its perception. Like, in the world its obviously going to be perceived always and that will affect you for better or for worse. But your body is not FOR others, it’s for YOU. Nothing is constant or forever or is anything you can truly count on. You won’t have your family and friends forever, your job doesn’t always matter, your thoughts and feelings are unreliable. But your body will ALWAYS be there as long as you are alive. Otherwise you wouldn’t be alive as you are. It allows you to experience taste, smell, sight, touch, and all the other things you may be lucky to have. You know that if you have certain habits, your body will have certain capacities, or not. It’s predicable, and it will always be that way. And I know that this isn’t true when you have health issues, and when that happens to me at least, it’s always really scary. But you always have more that WORKS than you think you do. What’s the only non-arguable purpose of being alive? To me, it’s that I am in MY body, when I could have been born as anyone else, or any species of animal, or a blade of grass or something. But THIS is what I have and so I will Notice it, and Use it. I think it’s a waste of time to focus on what your body does for other people. That’s not its job. We are literally just animals. But with the luxury of knowing that, we can use our bodies however we want, for survival or otherwise! How freaking fun. Although, we didn’t jump out of a coconut tree or whatever so none of that is to invalidate the implications of bodily appearance in society. Just a diff topic ig

I recently tore a bunch of ligaments in my ankle while rock climbing, and the healing process has caused me to be in absolute awe of my body’s mechanics. The fact that the human being exists as it does, in all of its infinite forms, is an inexplicable miracle. Be grateful to be alive, it feels good.

My life is not perfect but it could be waaaay worse! it’s actually maybe kinda sick??!?? But definitely my whole life I woke up every day wanting to be anyone else but me and now that doesn’t happen this much because of this one simple trick!

I'm a firm believer that the behaviour of users in the average comment section of a platform is reflective of the platform itself. And pi.fyi just so happens to have the most earnest comments in the whole world wide web.

Love this new look, a little jarring at first but man is this awesome. Websites are never static, and they aren't made to be. I hope pi.fyi keeps changing forever.
