The Coffee Meets Bagel backend team held a farewell dinner last night. Two of us were being fêted. I got a really cool gift.
The best gifts are heartfelt. They say, “We know and appreciate you as a person. Here’s what you meant to us.”

The accompanying card said, “Congrats on reaching escape velocity!” This cracked me up!
I left CMB with a metric s*it-ton of cherished experiences and friendships. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. This gift is awesome.
That is SO perfectly YOU. I wouldn’t be surprised if after you’re gone, they reference “pulling a DeRosa!”
