Where are you at in your life stage?
I recently moved to Sacramento from Southern California. This is my first time being independent and in a new city without my community. I also recently ended an almost 4 year long relationship, so there’s a lot of new things going on in my life and I want to put myself out there and meet new people.
How's your life?
It’s okay, it’s been busy and stressful. I am excited for this new chapter in my life, but so nervous because I am in a new city without many people I know.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Journaling, and reading mostly. I also am a believer in touching some grass and reconnecting with nature, so I love going on walks and just listening to the sound the trees make.
What is most important to you right now?
Continuing to grow as a person. I am a strong introvert, and it’s difficult to put myself out there, but I want to make new friends out here and experience this city to its fullest potential.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I had to read The Summer I Turned Pretty books for reassurance because I can’t with the show. Team Conrad all the way, and if Jenny changes the ending I will have strong opinions.

Hiking, for sure. The Bay Area has so many wonderful parks & trails, each offering different views or experiences.
I definitely take advantage of being close to the beach. I play a beach volleyball pretty much every weekend and I plan my weekends around it. I love it.
Gardening is enjoyable to see the growth & changes throughout the year. Also enjoy the harvest when it comes. I love the nearby trails for running. Alameda Creek, Coyote Hills, Dry Creek, & Guadalupe Trail to name a few. Or even in the green zones and parks in the neighborhood are conveniently close by.
@CawfeeGurl All kinds - mostly edible. Most years we have a bounty of tomatoes, but this year we have a lot of zucchini. Also plums, strawberries, blackberries, sugar pie pumpkin, mint, new Zealand spinach, beets, limes, etc. I love the persimmons when they ripen around October. There's almost always something interesting happening or work to be done.
@mangalam That’s amazing. I enjoy gardening as well. Do you cook with or sell the produce? Or bake or make jams with the fruit?

Where are you at in your life stage?
Creeping up on the big 5-0 and feeling it. Considering what would be my second career pivot but having a hard time with the unknowns. Enjoying the time I have with my kids in the interim. Always low-key interested in new friends and the adventures ahead.
How's your life?
Something about..I can’t complain. I’m a year out from losing my brother and then my mom a few months later. I’m starting to realize how much of that I’m still processing but processing, I am. Doing my best to funnel that energy into making them proud and ensuring my kids always remember the family members that loved them with everything.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Work. Both my 9-5 and the small businesses I operate. Live music. Lots of records. The amazing Caribbean restaurant and bar near my house.
What is most important to you right now?
Being the best dad I can. Doing what I can to protect my kids from the political nastiness that consumes our country. Improving my health and the health of my family. Making new friends when possible.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Well..it’s been 105°-110° for many weeks. So the most interesting thing I’ve encountered recently was an ice bath.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Semi-retired, but I reserve the right to work again if conditions compel. Divorced for 4 years. Dabbled with online dating, which has resulted in a few new friends. Moved to the Sacramento area after living in SF, East Bay, and Marin for 35 years. I have many great friends around the country (and a few in Ecuador,) but I hardly have any friends nearby. I live 20 minutes east of Sacramento, so a Sac community would be ideal.
How's your life?
It’s actually pretty good. I have recently started taking some classes at Sac Comedy Spot (improv, stand-up, sketch writing) and I’ve enjoyed the connections and creative outlet. I’m never bored, but it would be great to build a local group of friends.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I like to walk a lot while listening to Audiobooks. I walk 3-5 miles a day or more and I enjoy mixing in hikes when the weather is a little better. I also have a few pinball machines, a pool table, and a sizable vinyl record collection. I play around with electronics as well—simple robotics, microcontrollers, leds, etc. I am hoping to connect with other makers as well. I had a group when I lived in Marin, but I haven’t found anything locally.
What is most important to you right now?
Making connections and clarifying what I want to do when I grow up. I have many hobbies and I travel for a couple of months when local temps are above 100. I would love to be able to do interesting things with local people with at least somewhat similar interests.
Anything you recently found interesting?
As mentioned, my experience with Sacramento Comedy Spot has been really wonderful. The connections with creative people have really sparked a fire. I’ve also been doing a deep dive with a virtual pinball table that I will be building from scratch.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I would say in the best part. I´m new to the states and to have the possibility to live and work in a different country is really exciting. Everyone around me gets Kids but I travel the world and make different experiences.
I still have to do a bucket list for places to visit here. Ohh and also I'm 34
How's your life?
Good actually. Work is fullfilling and i have enough free time to see the country. The only thing missing is my friends and family around me so I´m in search for new friends. Sadly there are not alot of places where you can meet new people so I try it on the Internet.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Movies and Icecream helps alot but also the Idea that you can only change a limited amount of things but these are important. Also to get out see that the world that is surrounding you is not as toxic as it seems.
What is most important to you right now?
Friends and family but that is easy so I would choose my Visum for the US. It was long process, it nearly took me nearly 2 years but now I have it. I have the opportunity to live completely differently for a while and gain new perspectives on how I want to live my life
Anything you recently found interesting?
So, I´m a really 120% person if I find something interresting I dive deep in the topic and take money in my hands to get involved. A lot of DnD, a lot of movies especially horror latly but also photography, tabletop, hiking or cakes i love cakes.

780km! Was it the Camino de Santiago? My mom finished the trail 8 years ago too. Back then, I didn't understand why she decided to walk the trail that she would return. Now I understand what part she enjoyed. I'm sure it was her healing journey before her next chapter. When the time is right, I'll be on that trail too to see that quiet and serene moment that my mom had. Hope you made a lot of good memories there.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Having recently moved solo to CA from my home state of MI, I’m sitting on a land mine of potential new beginnings. I currently have no ties to much of anything and I’m devoted to spending the course of the next year to exploring possible career options, finding my place in the community here, and making brand new connections in a bit of a different social culture. I just turned 21.
How's your life?
Things are pretty and peaceful at the moment. New beginnings have led me to a very blank canvas view on what’s ahead which is a refreshing sentiment. I’m content with my ordinary days but srsly looking forward to filling the space I’ve created with new experiences and deeper connections. I miss my small circle back home.
What helps you keep your sanity?
When my widths are thin I know it’s time take myself on a hike. The nature here is beyond competition with what I’ve had access to before and every second I don’t get to spend taking it all in is one more second I’m waiting to get out there. If I’m not going for a walk I’m sitting outside reading or fumbling my way through the same song on guitar for the 20th time.
What is most important to you right now?
It’s most important to me right now to re-learn how to live for myself! Having spent my late teens in towns I didn’t enjoy living in or relationships that kept me from realizing my own potential, my days are now 100% about indulging my inner child and doing whatever feels fulfilling in the moment. My top priority is being authentic so the building blocks of my near future start to come together in a way that sets me up for longer term happiness.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I am right in the middle, somewhere between professional fulfillment and mid-life crisis. Gathered a baggage of life stories and ideas, grew out of a few things, hasn't grown into others. Prefer to think that I'm still open to everything new and exploring life, but maybe I just can't admit that I don't know where I'm headed.
How's your life?
Life's been pretty good, to the point of almost boring sometimes. I got an interesting job and great family, between which I keep alternating in an endless cycle work-home-work. Probably due to this cycle of life I started questioning what and where am I really in life and where it's all going.
What helps you keep your sanity?
My job and my hobbies are mostly creative, like writing or music, which helps to abstract from reality or create a sense of personal achievement. Kind of hooked on this feeling of 'moving somewhere' with what I am doing. Just recently discovered quite the opposite way - just stopping in the moment and meditating. Trying to balance those two modes now.
What is most important to you right now?
I am trying to provide some stability in life for my family, being a responsible adult etc. and at the same time leave some time for myself to grow and change for better. Trying to get personal space to pursue my own interests.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've recently got back into reading and discovered a whole new fields I want to explore more and discuss: humanistic psychology, systems approach to sociology.
On the lighter side of life - I can talk about music for hours.

Matcha with collagen, a few pages of any current book I'm reading, a quick meditation, and (if I'm lucky) some body movement!
Coffee, make my bed, stretches, and morning skincare routine! If I'm feeling particularly scatterbrained, I write my to-dos out on a paper planner.

Where are you at in your life stage?
In the stage of some soul searching and what comes after. At the start of my career and questioning what I want out of life. I got some answers after a month of solo travel which included an ayahuasca ceremony.
Dealt with some big life changes in my 20s, so moving to CA feels like a new and exciting start to my 30s.
How's your life?
Life is good - but it’s also been a roller coaster. It’s been a story of self discovery and growth. Trying new things and seeing what sticks.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Yoga, meditation, bike riding, books, and music!
I listen to most everything except country. I’m hoping to explore music more with the drums (my bread and butter), guitar, and singing.
What is most important to you right now?
Keeping the relationships and connections I have, having creative pursuits, and being the coolest uncle.
