For a little while, like a few years ago, I started to get really cynical of Christmas, or the whole holiday season really. Mostly because of working in hospitality for several years and seeing the highs and devastating lows of humanity. Even at my most cynical though, there'd be a time every so often where my heart would soften and enjoy the festive cheer and the feeling of happy anticipation this time of year brought out of folks. And now, this year . . . I don't know. I feel so hopeful, so easy. Lasy year was a wash because of so many reasons and though those same reasons still abound, I . . . I'm feeling good. Like there's something good coming around soon and I'm a little kid again, wondering when my presents will come under the tree. So if you're feeling the same, if you're feeling like it's weird to feel so good right now, I wanna tell you to embrace this feeling. Don't reject goodness, it won't do you any favors. Just savor this glow inside you and enjoy the season. If you don't feel like this, don't stress it! Just don't reject your authentic feelings is all I'm saying. And if you wanna really, properly enjoy this feeling, I made a Christmas Masterlist playlist on Youtube chock full of classic Xmas movies and songs. Enjoy!

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.
