Hi! I love how you expanded on childlike wonder and perception. I feel as if it is all too easy to let ourselves get caught up in the mundane routine of life when transitioning into adulthood- I strive to maintain my curiosity for life and appreciate the beauty that exists in the little things. I found the concept of your Costa Rica trip interesting! Solo traveling is definitely something I would like to try but I am hesitant to do so because traveling alone is a scary concept to me. Sent a coffee req :)

3pm tea time (and making time for other enjoyable things) is a great idea! Any favorite songs from your playlist?

Honestly despite the bad side of the internet I’ve seen and learned about I don’t wish to unlearn anything. Because of what I’ve learned I’ve become who I am now and I’m proud of not being perfect but achieving what I want instead of what others want out of me.
That my worth and value are based on what others think of me. I'm trying to learn how to love myself and develop a secure attachment style.

I wish I could unlearn how cruel and horrible people can be when they think they are better than others

@grateful1 I plan to do communications for creative industries, with a focus on working directly with communities that need it most :) so I’m looking into working with nonprofits and public arts sectors!

@Amaranthine: travel-wise, Alaska! Loved how vast and massive it feels. And the glaciers! Local: Oakland's newest croissant place, Forma!

I've been recommended Brandon Sanderson but I haven't had a chance to get into his books yet. Which series would you recommend? Sent you a coffee request!

Brandy Sandy is fantastic, I was introduced to him through Stormlight but haven't caught up with the larger Cosmere yet unfortunately. Where do you usually play tennis in the city? Sent a coffee request!

I once visited this super cool "floating market" in Vietnam

Definitely get it about the friends with spouses and kids! I had a solid group, and then everyone went and got married - some of them to each other - or they left the Bay Area. C'est la vie, I suppose.

@RAF11 I guess they'll return to us when their kids turn 18?? LOL. But yeah, over time I've noticed that most of my friends are child-free

Has anyone had a successful IRL meetup from this community?

@Amaranthine Aw that is wonderful! I have yet to meet up with anyone, but I think part of the problem is I keep missing the notifications!

Recently went to a very nice Vietnamese-owned boba shop called Mirakuru! They’re always changing up the interior decorations & their custom boba cup sleeves~ Plus, their sweetness levels feel actually accurate (not super sweet). Highly recommend :)

Hey girly! I'm not a fan of boba but I get the drinks without boba, lol. I'd love to grab a drink sometime together and go for a hike/walk if you're interested :-)
