What’s a topic that fires you up, or that brings out the most passionate side of you?

When people deliberately misunderstand or take the most unhelpful view of a topic. Ex: feminism. It literally just means that everyone should have equality in dignity, autonomy, and choice. Nothing more, nothing less. But people misunderstand it to mean man-hating or women being against other women who want traditional roles and any number of other things. That disingenuous framing only serves to undermine the movement and take equality away from all of us.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Nearing the end of Act II and starting to think about the possibilities for Act III. Older than I should be, but the father of three talented teenagers. Comfortable with my work, not chasing or climbing anything. I like to think I have one more surprise left in me, though.
How's your life?
Keenly aware that the horizon has started edging closer. I'm mindful that I've had a a good run (so far!), and I'm not so foolish to be made ungrateful by the strike of the occasional arrow from the quiver of love, health, or money.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Music for one, movie/anime night with the kids for two, and spending most of Sunday outside working on the never ending stream of projects that come with a small orchard. And of course getting up before anyone else on Sunday and having a quiet cup of coffee while gazing out the window. Also, the sound of rain, and the distant horn of a train echoing far away in the night.
What is most important to you right now?
Kids! Yeah, I know, sounds trite, but it's a wild ride, and there's nothing like the feeling when you do something right. Not entirely unrelated, but being an older dad, maintaining health is key to keeping up with them.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've known about rejection therapy for years, but recently found a you-tuber (jia jiang) who set out to be rejected 100 times, often for asking for ridiculous things from complete strangers. Riding along (virtually) with him adds a whole new dimension to the process and helps inspire the viewer to be more open to challenging themselves in social situations.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Focused on work-life balance, taking advantage of all the great outdoor activities available in the San Diego area, exploring new interests.
How's your life?
My life is good atm. But…..I do not know many people in San Diego. I moved from the New York City area a few years ago. I lean toward the introverted end of the spectrum. I have a girlfriend, but it would be nice to meet others — particularly other 40+ year old people who have moved here in the last few years and are seeking social connections.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Per the above — work life balance. The great weather in San Diego and spending time outdoors. Spending time with friends and family. But…I don’t really have any local friends (other than girlfriend).
What is most important to you right now?
I guess the things I have mentioned in the above responses. As mentioned, I moved to the San Diego area a few years ago, from the east coast. I am introvert-leaning. Would like a few quality social connections in San Diego.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I find too many things interesting to list them all here. But, to name a few: AI, the hiking trails around San Diego, the evolving San Diego restaurant scene, Bourbon, biking, live music concerts/performances.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Trying to enjoy my youth before I need to start planning for kids. After the pandemic lock down, I feel like I lost a lot of time so the last few years has been a lot of trips, new experiences and hobbies.
How's your life?
I call it the boring middle but honestly I think I'm at the best place in my life right now. I enjoy my job and I have work life balance to be able to travel and have time to work out or meet up with friends after work so I can't really complain. I do think about aspirations sometimes of starting my own business or making a huge change like moving overseas but maybe it can still happen later?
What helps you keep your sanity?
My dog :D eating amazing food! Therapy , more self care,just started learning how to meditate. Learning how to appreciate the small things in life
What is most important to you right now?
My physical and mental health. Everything started getting sore and cracking after I turned 30 T.T
Anything you recently found interesting?
Recently started doing pottery and pickleball!

It’s the other way around. I have a Tshirt that says happiness = reality - expectations. A lot of people strike up a conversation with me when they look at my Tshirt. I bought it to remind myself the secret to happiness 🙃

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m in my early career stage focusing on building a life for myself and gaining financial freedom/saving for the future. I’m in a long term relationship and live with my partner and our Cat.
How's your life?
I am fairly content with my life. I’m at a point where I feel like I’m craving a stronger sense of community and want to focus my energy on making meaningful connections with new friends who are like-minded.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Getting outside in nature helps me keep my sanity as well as sharing with other when I am going through something.
What is most important to you right now?
The most important thing to me right now is to focus on surrounding myself with people who care for me and doing the same for others. I want to work on getting outside of my comfort zone in many area of my life. I’m excited to hopefully connect with people I can learn from and vice versa
Anything you recently found interesting?
Learning music theory is really difficult!

What is one way that you have challenged yourself to do something outside your comfort zone? I identify a lot with that sentiment as well.
