Speaker 3: Please? Let me tell you. I have never had to
Speaker 3: deal with apps. I'm too old for that. There were
Speaker 3: no apps back in the time, but maybe things were

Speaker 4: A food that I really hate I hate mashed potatoes,
Speaker 4: which is like a very like everyone kind of gives
Speaker 4: me shit for that. I work in photo management. I
Speaker 4: really love anything creative and yeah.
Speaker 2: Love love love, Oh my gosh, thank you for that intro.

Speaker 3: I need that? Are you ready?
Speaker 6: I'm ready?
Speaker 3: Well, my love, I want to ask you a very
Speaker 3: importante question. Please, why are we all here today? Because
Speaker 3: we want to find love just a dating relationship, a
Speaker 3: casual encounter. What does Sam want?
Speaker 4: Just like out the gate, I'm like a monogamous person,
Speaker 4: like down, you know what I mean. Like I've definitely
Speaker 4: been single for like yeah, the three years. I'm newly sober,
Speaker 4: so that's another thing that's like just like had me
Speaker 4: way more clarity in life. I'm like open to a
Speaker 4: relationship with the right person. I'm also open to like
Speaker 4: friends of benefits. Like I guess I'm just pretty open
Speaker 4: definitely like on the hierarchy of needs. If I meet
Speaker 4: someone and like we connect, I'm one like ready to
Speaker 4: be with someone, but I'm also down to like just
Speaker 4: meet someone and we like have fun.
Speaker 3: What are those qualities you're looking for.
Speaker 4: I definitely want someone that's affectionate, someone that's like really
Speaker 4: open minded, and someone dependable reliable I guess like slash,
Speaker 4: someone who could like speak their minds.
Speaker 3: That sounds wonderful. But there's one thing I want to add.
Speaker 3: Congratulations and being sober. Oh thank you, what an amazing
Speaker 3: thing to do. Yes, absolutely, I love that.
Speaker 2: Okay, just said you've been zinicle for three years. How
Speaker 2: was that last relationship?
Speaker 1: What are some things that you've learned from that, things
Speaker 1: that you definitely want to for sure like continue to
Speaker 1: work on, or the things that you're like, actually, I've
Speaker 1: learned that I don't want that anymore. What were some
Speaker 1: of those like educational moments.
Speaker 4: I think like an educational moment for me was that like,
Speaker 4: even like the past few relationships, I would rushed into
Speaker 4: relationships just to be with somebody just because like they
Speaker 4: like really liked me. And I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 4: like someone's best quality to me is liking.
Speaker 6: Me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, the fact that like they're down,
Speaker 4: I was like, really attracted to that, and of course
Speaker 4: I was attracted to them at the point, but like
Speaker 4: there were just things where like because like I wasn't
Speaker 4: mature enough and like self aware enough to know that
Speaker 4: like more for more or less words, I couldn't like
Speaker 4: just change somebody to be who I want them to be.
Speaker 4: I just have to accept somebody one percent for who
Speaker 4: they are or don't. Those are things that like I've
Speaker 4: learned in the three years of being single, and something
Speaker 4: that like if I can go back and like talk
Speaker 4: to ex'es, that would be something that I would like
Speaker 4: own up to and like you know, kind of make
Speaker 4: amends with absolutely.
Speaker 1: With that in mind, how do you see yourself now
Speaker 1: approaching conflict? How do you want to handle repair?
Speaker 4: I definitely just want to like have that open stream
Speaker 4: of communication about like if someone if I hurt someone's feelings,
Speaker 4: like not taking that personal and just like being like,
Speaker 4: oh I'm more now like instead of like taking a
Speaker 4: personal white hurts someone's feelings, I'm like great for the
Speaker 4: opportunity to like hear someone out and like learn from that,
Speaker 4: because like hurting someone's feelings isn't the end of the world.
Speaker 6: It's just going to happen.
Speaker 2: I feel that so hard.
Speaker 4: Having friendship conflict along the way has really helped me,
Speaker 4: you know, like kind of have that groundwork for relationship confrontation.
Speaker 2: How do you go about communicating your needs?
Speaker 4: I'm a pretty direct person. Yeah, I'm pretty like I
Speaker 4: want this. Are you okay with that kind of person? No?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Did?
Speaker 4: I just like I lose my patience with like indirectness,
Speaker 4: Like I needed to.
Speaker 6: Kind of be blunt.
Speaker 3: You know, there's a blunt with you. I love it.
Speaker 6: I'm like very attracted to that.
Speaker 3: Tell me one thing, you are ready for a relationship?
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So what is the most serious relationship you've ever had.
Speaker 4: I've had like three various serious relationships that have all
Speaker 4: lasted around two years.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 4: The first one, I was like eighteen and he was
Speaker 4: like twenty six, So that was just kind of like
Speaker 4: going to end.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, yeah, fair, but it was serious.
Speaker 4: And then the second one was just kind of like
Speaker 4: that first queer relationship, It.
Speaker 6: Was kind of just like.
Speaker 4: And then the third one of my most recent kind
Speaker 4: of like during lockdown, spending all that time together just
Speaker 4: have me realizing that, like we are not a.
Speaker 2: Match where you go have a dating with this person. Yeah, gotcha? Oof. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel that.
Speaker 3: A lot of relationships went down the drain.
Speaker 4: So I moved to La, like after we broke up
Speaker 4: from where Chicago?
Speaker 2: Right on?
Speaker 1: I know you've been single for three years, but have
Speaker 1: you been actively dating? Have you been going out? Has
Speaker 1: been the dating scene for you in La?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I like dat around. I like him on the apps?
Speaker 4: You know, I don't love the apps.
Speaker 1: Are you had the approacher or the approach he I
Speaker 1: approach definitely.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm definitely attracted someone that would approach me.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: An ideal date would it look like would you be
Speaker 1: the one preparing it or would you allow somebody to
Speaker 1: prepare it for you?
Speaker 2: What's the vibe?
Speaker 4: I would love someone to prepare it for me because
Speaker 4: I am someone who usually prepares everything. It's like I'm
Speaker 4: not very much like the prepare the planner. I'm just
Speaker 4: like I'm a boss.
Speaker 3: Like if you're the approacher, then you are doing it
Speaker 3: all exactly.
Speaker 4: So like when someone is just like a bigger boss
Speaker 4: than me and like takes control of that, I'm just like, Wow,
Speaker 4: that's like very like horny to me.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I love that word. I'm amazing. I love that.
Speaker 3: What does it mean? No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 4: Do.
Speaker 3: Check this out. You have three matching tattoos with your exes.
Speaker 3: I do, Yeah, I do. Did you do it because
Speaker 3: things felt so sure or just because you're always down
Speaker 3: for a new tad or anything like I have.
Speaker 4: Zero comitment issues, I would say, yeah. Like I'm just
Speaker 4: like because to me, every relationship that I'm in, I
Speaker 4: don't plan on breaking up until it happened, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean.
Speaker 6: Like it's not like I'm like this is going to end.
Speaker 6: I'm just kind of like it may end, it may not,
Speaker 6: but who cares?
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean? For now?
Speaker 6: Like who cares?

Speaker 3: Oh just say that and get it out of the way. Okay,
Speaker 3: let's ask you a few personal questions, like what kind
Speaker 3: of person have you been dating so far? And what
Speaker 3: is it that you're looking for? Something different?
Speaker 7: I guess mainly what I be core is that people
Speaker 7: are kind and interesting. I find myself dating people that
Speaker 7: have like sort of different interest than me a lot
Speaker 7: of the time as well, just because I like to
Speaker 7: hear people talk about what they're passionate about. So as
Speaker 7: long as somebody is, you know, kind of like enthusiastic
Speaker 7: about the world and they like to learn think about things,
Speaker 7: that's the kind of person I'm into.
Speaker 3: Have you been dating a lot lately or not so.
Speaker 7: A couple of years ago, I got out of a
Speaker 7: pretty serious relationship and I've been dating casually since then, so,
Speaker 7: you know, like seeing I guess a good amount of people,
Speaker 7: but not very seriously, especially since I just moved from LA.
Speaker 3: So what was serious about it? And how long did
Speaker 3: it last?
Speaker 7: We were together a couple of years and we were
Speaker 7: actually engaged.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, you know, things happen for a reason
Speaker 3: in life. It's all good, you know. We learn from
Speaker 3: every experience. Now, what are you looking for right now?
Speaker 7: I'm looking for somebody that I guess just to share
Speaker 7: my life with. I don't necessarily need to be hyper committed,
Speaker 7: but I like to have a partner, you know. I
Speaker 7: like to have somebody who could like participate and kind
Speaker 7: of be along for the ride of what I'm doing.
Speaker 3: Okay, now, you mentioned that you are not close with
Speaker 3: your family.
Speaker 7: Correct, not super close to know. We're kind of working
Speaker 7: on it. But when I first came out, we had
Speaker 7: sort of a rough few years and we're kind of
Speaker 7: in the process of preparing that relationship that I'm not
Speaker 7: particularly close to them yet. I guess there's just kind
Speaker 7: of some like tess that has to be rebuildable where
Speaker 7: they're kind of allowed back into my personal life.
Speaker 3: And I'm sorry about that, but I'm very happy that
Speaker 3: you guys are working on it, because the most important
Speaker 3: thing that we are trying to do here is to
Speaker 3: help people understand what is going on that at the
Speaker 3: end of the day, we are all human and we
Speaker 3: all just want love company to be accepted for who
Speaker 3: we truly are, so I commend you for moving on
Speaker 3: and trying to repair that relationship with them. You did
Speaker 3: say that you have found a lot of life love
Speaker 3: and mentors from the LGBQT community. What has that been about.
Speaker 3: Let's see.
Speaker 7: I mean, I came out as transgender when I was fifteen,
Speaker 7: which is super common for people in my age range.
Speaker 7: So I experienced a couple of years of instability, we'll
Speaker 7: call it.
Speaker 3: And I don't know that I.
Speaker 7: Would have made it through without my community. When you're
Speaker 7: coming from kind of a vulnerable, marginalized group, like really
Speaker 7: what you have as each other and so I was
Speaker 7: really supported and looked out for by people from my community,
Speaker 7: and so I really aspire to do that for other people.
Speaker 7: You know, my home is always open. I'll do whatever
Speaker 7: I can to help other people.
Speaker 3: Okay, Scylar, you're making me cry now. No, my heart
Speaker 3: is very open to everything that you are saying, because
Speaker 3: it is absolutely imperative that this world opens up and
Speaker 3: accepts everyone for who they truly, truly are. I'm very
Speaker 3: proud of you, and I'm very happy that you found
Speaker 3: that comfort in others, especially in your LGBTQ community. So
Speaker 3: thank you for that. Another question is go a little
Speaker 3: bit happier times here. No, hello, hello, hello, Oh I
Speaker 3: like this one. You mentioned that being a pretty clean person,
Speaker 3: down to the point of disassembling the toilet to clean it. Now,
Speaker 3: do you need a person in your life that is
Speaker 3: like that? It would you settle for something lesser than that?
Speaker 7: I definitely don't need a person to be on my level.
Speaker 7: The several of my friends have informed me that maybe
Speaker 7: my habits are a little out of the ordinary when
Speaker 7: it comes to clean and I'm not particularly picky about
Speaker 7: like chores or anything, but you know, sort of like
Speaker 7: a base level of cleanliness and hygiene is very important
Speaker 7: to me. I can be a little a little bit
Speaker 7: hussy about that.
Speaker 3: They're so funny, just that little bit. No, let's talk
Speaker 3: about the fact that you work with animals. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: you work in a doggy daycare. Correct, So I just
Speaker 3: left that.
Speaker 7: Job actually, and now I'm all time with illustration and
Speaker 7: graphic design.
Speaker 3: Again, that is amazing, Good for you, thank you.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I got started working in animal care pretty young,
Speaker 7: like when I was twelve, I started volunteering at the
Speaker 7: main society, and then all through art school I worked
Speaker 7: at different doggie daycares and then I just kind of
Speaker 7: finished up in others then with a doggy daycare.
Speaker 1: That's all the time we've got for this scuff I
Speaker 1: seed though, thank you for coming by Ahwalita's house, Skyler.
Speaker 2: We'll talk very very.
Speaker 3: Soon, thank you, Skyler.
Speaker 2: All right, next up, Awalita, meet Destiny.
Speaker 1: Tell us a bit about who you are, your name,
Speaker 1: your age, where you're from, what you're doing, your zodiac sign,
Speaker 1: if you want to share that too, go for aight.
Speaker 6: Okay, Hi, I'm Destiny. I am twenty four. I've been
Speaker 6: in LA for five years. My grandparents raised me, and
Speaker 6: my grandpa was in the military, so army bra is
Speaker 6: the term.
Speaker 5: So I lived in Texas, Utah, Germany, Colorado, and then
Speaker 5: I went to high school there, came here to pursue acting.
Speaker 5: So I love, you know, acting, I love poetry, reading
Speaker 5: any sort of creative things, painting, that sort of thing.
Speaker 6: And I'm a Scorpio.
Speaker 3: Fuck yes, I really Okay, God tell us about Scorpio.
Speaker 2: It's they're one of my favorites.
Speaker 1: All right, Destiny, I'm gonna hand you over for a
Speaker 1: little guff I see those speedy that they get.
Speaker 3: Away, Okay, Destiny. I was reading a little bit about
Speaker 3: your bio, and I have to tell you, I was
Speaker 3: pretty touched by the fact that not only you are
Speaker 3: three years sober, yes, but did you actually work at
Speaker 3: a nightclub? Yeah? Tell me how that has been in
Speaker 3: your life.
Speaker 5: Honestly, at first, I think it was a little bit
Speaker 5: harder to transition into it.
Speaker 6: But I think I have good coping skills.
Speaker 5: I have like a good I don't know, just my
Speaker 5: life is better, so it doesn't it's not as tempting.
Speaker 5: You know. I go there just to work, and I'm
Speaker 5: at work and that's kind of how I view it
Speaker 5: and then I leave it there. But yeah, a lot
Speaker 5: of my friends, you know, they still like to go
Speaker 5: out and do all that, and I'm just kind of
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm here with my water or my Red
Speaker 5: Bull or whatever. But I'm still very like outgoing. I
Speaker 5: like to dance and do fun things. I just yeah,
Speaker 5: don't need alcohol to have fun anymore.
Speaker 3: Good for you, Very proud of you.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Now let's talk about your dating life.
Speaker 1: What is it like.
Speaker 5: I guess in high school until my early twenties, I
Speaker 5: didn't really have anybody that I liked that much. And
Speaker 5: then I think I started dating more like around twenty
Speaker 5: one or whatnot. But yeah, it hasn't been anything super
Speaker 5: long term except for I guess maybe there's one person
Speaker 5: that was about like three months, but even that is
Speaker 5: not that long.
Speaker 3: Soa and what are you looking for now?
Speaker 5: I think I'm in a better place now, So I
Speaker 5: think just somebody that's supportive, caring, where we can have
Speaker 5: fun together, we can laugh together, but also, you know,
Speaker 5: be there for each other through things.
Speaker 6: And yeah, I think just you know, basic things, be
Speaker 6: able to comunicate, work through things, and yeah, have fun together.
Speaker 3: Sounds good. Now. You mentioned being raised by your grandparents, Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: and you have a very strong relationship with them.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't live here, but I call them almost,
Speaker 5: you know, every day. I talk to them about pretty
Speaker 5: much everything. And yeah, they're from a different generation, but
Speaker 5: they're they're always very supportive, you know, so sometimes they
Speaker 5: don't understand certain things, but they're there in the ways
Speaker 5: that they know how to do.
Speaker 6: So I'm really grateful.
Speaker 3: That is very nice. How you put it, in the
Speaker 3: way that they know how Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: That.
Speaker 3: The one thing that we do know is that I
Speaker 3: will lead us, will always be there for us, right,
Speaker 3: and that's the love and the support counts more than anything.
Speaker 3: But tell me what kind of role have they played
Speaker 3: in your dating life?
Speaker 5: Honestly, And my Grandma's always been like, Okay, date somebody
Speaker 5: that's like at least got goals and ambition or whatever,
Speaker 5: because you don't want to be with somebody if there,
Speaker 5: because she knows I have a lot of plans and
Speaker 5: I want to do things.
Speaker 6: So she's like, that's kind of a big thing. And
Speaker 6: my grandpa's kind of, I don't know, he's more chill.
Speaker 6: He's just like I was long as love each other.
Speaker 6: That's fine.
Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, so you've told us that you went
Speaker 3: to theater school. Yeah, and you want to write and
Speaker 3: perform in stories from communities that don't have their stories told.
Speaker 3: Is there any story in particular that you would like
Speaker 3: to tell?
Speaker 6: On the top of my head, probably more minority groups.
Speaker 5: I guess it's getting a little bit better with representation,
Speaker 5: which is super important, but I think there's still a
Speaker 5: lot further that it can go, you know, And I
Speaker 5: would like to see minority groups living like thriving, happy
Speaker 5: lives and not at always being something super sad or
Speaker 5: depicted in such like a stereotype you know, Like I'm like,
Speaker 5: we're all just people and we have great fun lives too.
Speaker 6: It doesn't have to just be that certain thing.
Speaker 3: In this new relationship. What is the best thing you
Speaker 3: want to find?
Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever really been in love.
Speaker 5: I would like to think it's a beautiful, happy thing,
Speaker 5: you know, But I don't think three months is long
Speaker 5: enough to really fall in love with somebody.
Speaker 6: So I think, yeah, just finding love with somebody would
Speaker 6: be great.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry to interrupt, but that's our time. Thank
Speaker 2: you for coming, by Destiny. We'll talk soon, all right.
Speaker 1: When we get back, we'll have our third and final cafescito,

Speaker 3: so tell me a little bit about it.
Speaker 8: To be honest, I was not really dating from like
Speaker 8: high school to the beginning of grad school. I was
Speaker 8: very much a career person. I was like, I need
Speaker 8: to succeed, I need to, you know, hit these kind
Speaker 8: of milestones in my career. I have a lot of
Speaker 8: wonderful friends whom I love. I consider them my fine family.
Speaker 8: So It's not like I haven't like formed any relationships.
Speaker 8: It's just that i'd never foregrounded love relationships sex so
Speaker 8: much in my life. And it became more apparent when
Speaker 8: I was in grad school and I was kind of
Speaker 8: in a place where I didn't really know anyone, and
Speaker 8: there weren't a lot of people like me in the Midwest.
Speaker 3: Oh I can't imagine that. Yeah, they're very conservative.
Speaker 8: Not that many people of color, not many queer, trans,
Speaker 8: don binary people. So it was just kind of not
Speaker 8: really the community that I wanted for myself. And it
Speaker 8: kind of became like a parent when I was like
Speaker 8: looking at the dating pool and I was like.
Speaker 3: This is not that great. So now that you are ready,
Speaker 3: what are you looking for.
Speaker 8: I don't go into interactions being like I need to
Speaker 8: have like a relationship. I think that every say, person
Speaker 8: that I meet on a dating app, we can talk,
Speaker 8: we can go on a date, we can even look up.
Speaker 8: But like, if it develops into something, if I really
Speaker 8: like you, that's cool, But if it doesn't, it doesn't
Speaker 8: I'm really like in a place where I'm not trying
Speaker 8: to sounds very real es myself, Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's
Speaker 8: still kind of just fun to seize out there. It's

Speaker 3: What's the advice that you get.
Speaker 8: I can get kind of like daydreaming. I can just
Speaker 8: get carried away with things really quickly. What do you mean,
Speaker 8: Let's say that I'll get to in my head about
Speaker 8: a person that I just met. Okay, you know, I'll
Speaker 8: just like think of too many scenarios and kind of
Speaker 8: overthink things.
