i know for a fact that i’m guilty of wanting that dopamine hit of having people see my posts and like them, but i’m trying to change my mentality around that here. i’m finding myself more at peace just posting my recommendations and taking solace that someone might find them in the future and enjoy what i suggest, rather than needing an instant gratification of a like. i feel as though i’m adding a brick to the communal building that is this cool userbase of interesting people.

Honestly because when I would post on instagram I feel so much pressure to get likes and for eveything to be perfect but on here it’s more like a blog I can talk about what I want when I want and people can join if they want to as well. This place is so comforting compared to a lot of other social media plat forms!!!

I came here with a mentality of "this is basically just talking to yourself" and my posts have been doing good which is comforting actually

lanzalasalagua for me, i view this place as like a cookbook, that everyone can write in and read each other’s recipes for happiness. it feels good to know other people like what you write, but i’m finding myself happy just knowing i have a recipe that someone might find delicious someday in the future 🥘

Yessss! I feel the exact same! Somehow here I'm not numbing my brain in the same way. I really enjoy the interactions I have with others on this platform 😌

i keep finding myself feeling embarrassed when i post a lot on this app, but im having fun!!! and the genuineness of humans in this weird little online community is filling such a void in me that began to stop believing that people really are Good and Kind. in other words, i’m grateful for everyone here and i’m going to keep flooding this silly little app with my silly little words

I genuinely hope everything I post finds itself before the people that will enjoy it most, building connections and a community centered on shared ideas, experiences, and mutual enjoyment instead of influence.

I feel as if I am preaching to the choir here and Contradicting myself however it must be said posting here with intentional recommendations or genuine questions makes this place valuable and fun I see bleed over from Twitter or people just straight up complaining about things and I don’t really enjoy it but alas who am I if I sound ignorant sorry I just see too much myopic discourse on things and get burnt from it as a result of being online too much. This place seems more quiet compared to others

in honor of david’s passing, today is a great day to listen to all the incidental music and various versions of songs from twin peaks that never received an official release until 2011 when david released them as part of the twin peaks archive. some of my personal favorites are all the versions of audrey’s dance/dance of the dream man with different solo instruments. thank you angelo and david for some of the best music ever written for television!
