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

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.

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'm currently learning how to grow my vegetable garden (basically anything besides cactus). Would love to connect.

I'm not a writer but I'm married to one! I wonder if you'd vibe with her writing group. How many cats do you have?

I love writing. Being able to articulate is a true gift for all. I'm curious about writers' bookshelves and their reading lists!

@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!

The coast is one of my favorite places to venture out to (ironically also my greatest fear)
