@yoghurtpretzel It's in Berkeley and super delicious. Have found delicious comparable smoothies at the Butcher's Daughter in LA ☀️

Ah! I have been to Butcher's Daughter but haven't had their cardamom rose smoothie. Cafe Dulce in Little Tokyo has a great rose green tea latte.

What's one thing you wish you could unlearn?

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

In 9th grade algebra, I learned, "It's fun to graph with y = mx+b" to the tune of YMCA by the village people. It's been 30 years and that song still pops into my head every time anything even remotely suggests a simple slope calculation. I wish I could unlearn that.

I’ve been trying to get into meditation and it’s quite difficult to calm the chatter in my mind. The app Calm has a 30 day challenge that really helps! Turning mid 30s is really kicking my butt into high gear about being better overall.

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 :)

@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!

I keep a photo album of favorite trees I come across so I can imagine I’m sitting under them.

Isn’t it amazing? It’s such a lost art form these days. Words have the power to convey so much and offer a glimpse into someone’s deepest soul

Has anyone had a successful IRL meetup from this community?

Hey there - I feel you on the life transitions, including the ones that are tied to both professional and personal change-ups.

I take photographs myself, and used to develop black and white film in my bath tub during my law school days. Those chemicals can be tricky, so hope you have access to a legit darkroom.

Will be sending you a coffee request - and maybe we can shoot some film together too.
