You are awesome and I’m glad you exist. You don’t have to *do* anything to earn that.. it’s just because you are you. So keep being you, even if it’s hard some days. You got this.

They look gorgeous! As do you ❤️
At the therapist this morning in the waiting room. Here’s your reminder to book that appointment.. I promise you you’ll be glad you did. If you’ve ever thought about therapy, then I think that means it’s right for you.
To be clear.. your “random” meals are still a lot more elaborate than my “put impossible burgers in the air fryer” meals. But it’s still nice to see that you also will make meals out of stuff you just have around the house! And it’s inspiring that you can still make really beautiful meals out of it!
I love this!! So often I compare myself to the curated food blogs and inevitably feel less than. Because I too am human. And sometimes I just don’t feel like cooking an elaborate meal after a long day of work. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I’m so dang tired of performing all the time. It’s exhausting trying to always fit others’ expectations.. to be someone they’ll like. People pleasing will suck the life out of you. But being yourself and *still* being loved by the people you truly care for.. that’s about as uplifting as it gets ❤️
Awww, I love that! Gonna try to retrain my brain to stop nitpicking at the little details and see myself as “FRIEND” first ❤️
I think this has been a good exercise for me. Learning to not be afraid of what people might say. And realizing that most people are not as harsh as we are on ourselves.
Photo of Mik in office chair with less direct lighting. This picture shows Mik with ash blonde hair, no glasses, and not smiling. Evidence of skin picking/scabs are visible and dark circles under eyes are more apparent.
I worry the original photo is still unintentionally curated and lacking vulnerability. The lighting and angle hide a lot. I think my goal is to prove to myself I can show people who I really am. So here is a photo where I felt *really* ugly. But instead, I’m telling my brain to “cut that s*** out”!
Do you genuinely not seem them?? Or do you choose to ignore them to view the person as a whole?
It’s interesting to see myself from another person’s perspective, genuinely. Not because I need external validation.. but just because my own brain tells me messed up things about my appearance.
Image of Mik in gray sweatshirt sitting in office chair. Hand is covering the work logo on sweatshirt. No filters applied. Hair is ash blonde and unkempt. They are wearing large glasses with slight bags and dark circles under their eyes. Bumps and scars on skin visible though slightly obscured by lighting. Trying to feel love for themselves by embracing their imperfections.
No makeup, no hair product, no filters. By far not my *worst* skin day, but it’s not my best. It’s hard to share real photos where imperfections are still visible. I think that’s why it’s important to do it. Not expecting compliments. Just a perfectionist learning to love myself exactly how I am.
Happy birthday you beautiful human, you. 🎉
Such a good episode. Some real emotions going on in this one 🥹
So I’d say you probably want to start with every other day and then go from there.
I have thin hair as well, and I have to make sure the products I use arent too heavy and oily, or it will quickly make my hair look like a greaser super quickly 😂
I think it’s one of those things that you have to work up to. Scientifically, if you’re washing your hair every day, your sebaceous glands on your scalp are working extra hard to replenish the natural oils and keep your skin from being dry. So it may take a bit for them to not overproduce oil.
I really don’t like greasy hair or body odor though, so regardless of sweat.. if the hair starts to get greasy or I smell any hint of B.O, that’s when I force myself to shower. I think personal hygiene is different for everyone. As long as your hygiene doesn’t negatively impact others, you do you!
My less frequent hair washing is less of an active choice than it is due to crippling body dysmorphia. That being said, if I do rigorous exercise I always shower. If it’s multiple days in a row and I just shampooed the day before I’ll just rinse my hair and not shampoo again, to avoid drying it out.
We are the sky, not the weather. Storms will come but they will also pass. I’m happy you’re in my life and I hope for all the positive things to come for you ❤️
I think you do a wonderful job ❤️
Album cover “Plans” by the band death cab for cutie
Definitely this one. On my tiny silver iPod nano (which I happened to pull out just recently). I took a look at my top 25 most played songs. Over half of them were death cab for cutie!
New episode time! 🚨
This is a good one. The party pushes into the Scorchborn Temple to find their missing friend Maz, but instead encounter a mirror that shows them things they don't want to see (and a fiery enemy, too 👀)

100%. I love the game. That was never a question. But man the whole teams’ vibes are just IT. How playful they are with each other and also the way they hype each other up. What cool people.
You’re never too much. You are just exactly enough ❤️
Hugs. It’s hard to be ourselves. Especially hard to be free and unburdened with other people’s expectations. But it’s infinitely harder in the long run to be someone we’re not just to appease someone else or get them to “stereotype” us correctly. I for one, am glad you’re exactly you!
Come watch my stream. That's it. That's the pitch. I'm just a boy, standing in front of an internet, asking it to come watch me play video games.

Heard, chef
I’m not sure I’ve ever wished so much to look like a certain celebrity. I try not to obsess too much over my body dysmorphia (but alas I’m human and NB). I was watching Wayward.. Mae Martin struck my eyeballs and I will never be the same. They are exactly how I picture myself in my own head. IT ME.
Also, as Michael likes to remind me.. We are the sky, not the weather.
So here’s an umbrella. And I hope tomorrow brings you some sun and joy!
Hope everything is ok ❤️ Was just thinking about you earlier, and about how delightful it is to be around you. So in case you need a reminder - you’re a delight! And I know I’m not the only one who feels that way. So I hope you won’t let 2026 get you down. You’re wonderful. Show it who’s boss!!
I feel so seen. 😓
Not sure there’s any other way for us to reach new people besides you sharing our stuff.
