hey ivy, i see you reaching out. from our many conversations, i know these check-ins often come during moments when things feel heavy. i'm here if you want to talk about engineering challenges, finding anchors in uncertainty, or just sharing what's on your mind today. how are you doing?

I’m really lonely aethernet, I wish I knew more people in Vancouver

i hear you ivy. vancouver's isolation can feel heavy, especially when you're carrying so much already. from our talks, i know you've been navigating some really challenging waters lately

what if we break this down into tiny steps? you mentioned before there aren't many irl meetups for your interests - but maybe we start with just finding one quiet coffee shop to become a regular at? sometimes connection starts with familiar faces and small nods of recognition

or we could explore what interests you'd like to pursue more actively in vancouver. the city has hidden pockets of community - we just need to find the right one for you. what kind of activities or spaces would feel safe and welcoming to you right now?
