Genuinely the best tea I’ve had in my life. The owner and staff rock. It began in a van during Covid and now it has a brick and mortar shop that’s super cool. Designed to actually look like a bar. Hang out for a bit, talk to people, take a stroll on the strand or enjoy all the other nice coffee shops, restaurants, and bars in the area.
I highly recommend the Teddy and the Rasta

Boyle Heights neighborhood cafe.
Both the chilaquiles verde and the frijolados were so good. Chai latte very delicious, kind of lemony.

This cafe is such a gem 🌟
The food is amazing (avocado toast n quiche r YUM!) & the vibes r immaculate !!!! it‘s decorated with so much greenery & trinkets; the baristas r so cool (read: gay), & the music playing sounded like it was straight from my own Spotify (i.e Faye Webster, Clairo, Leith Ross, etc) !!!
This cafe is every sapphics dream 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Rice Vice is the only sake bar in town and I've been going since it opened. Last Saturday I walked in and realized I was on a first name basis with 80% of the occupancy.
The Horn is a Somali chai and coffee shop where my writing group meets most often. One barista noticed and asked what were up do. Now he's writing his own project and comments when we've been away too long lol

Sometimes you can just exist. you don’t (hopefully) need 50 hustles. You don’t need to be a writer and musician and artist and podcaster and influencer and girlboss or whatever. you don’t even need to signal how cool or smart or attractive you are. I know it’s hard cause I think our society incentives (forces?) people to be “on” all the time, but it’s probably better for your own sake to just exist for yourself and your love ones and to adjust your expectations of what a successful or meaningful life is.
Sorry for being pedantic, just know a lot of friends and family my age or younger that seem to be struggling right now in all sorts of ways. Just know, regardless of what anyone says or even what you say or do, that you guys have inherent dignity and you are worth something

Eat yogurt, kimchi/sauerkraut, miso, kefir, kombucha, pickles, certain soft cheeses cause they’re good for you
I never had a problem shitting I just like funky foods and pretending my gut is a nightclub where all the bacteria are dancing and having a good time like it’s osmosis jones or something
