Where are you at in your life stage?
Pretty good! Keep busy enough that I wish for more hours in a day. Left a very stressful job 2 years ago and finally recovered enough. Make enough money and am fine on my career growth. Hardest thing is social life/dating life right now, but have plenty of hobbies to make up for it.
How's your life?
A little chaotic, but being relatively stress free is nice. A little young to be saying this, but I think I accomplished everything I wanted to career wise. A lot of pressure taken off because of that!
What helps you keep your sanity?
I go in spurts of being hyper social to hermit. Plus always having a trip planned out.
What is most important to you right now?
Travel! I used to go on a big trip every two years, but since covid I go every year!
Anything you recently found interesting?
Ive been slowly attacking my stack of books, This is How You Lose the Time War was the best thing I read this year.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Mid 30s in a happy committed relationship just beginning my third career (it was a rough road but I'm glad I'm here now).
How's your life?
Pretty good. I like my home life; I like my work and colleagues; I love where I live. I'm a critical one. I think I'm too critical of my circumstances. Nothing is ever perfect but I'm genuinely happy these days.
Anything you recently found interesting?
My boyfriend and I are all prepped to try to grow mushrooms (the grocery store kind though I fully approve of all mushrooms).

I love your mushroom love inclusivity! I’ve never considered growing my own, but I like the idea! I can also be very critical of myself. I like to think of myself as a recovering perfectionist, as Brene Brown says. Sending you a coffee chat!

Where are you at in your life stage?
Pupating? Feeling more and more like a beautiful butterfly.
My family is still a very large part of my daily life, but I'm learning to devote more time to myself and re-discovering my interests and personal life goals.
How's your life?
It has its ups and downs, but these days it's great and just seems to be getting better.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Growth - personal, plants, animals, people. I love growth.
Writing

Gardening
Walking and sitting in nature
Watching bugs
The love of my family and friends
Friendship with deep connection
Laughter
Irreverence and occasional dark humor

Anything you recently found interesting?
So so many things.
Let me pick one: one of my chickens seems to prefer the company of humans over her flock.
Oh! Also, the praying mantis on my back porch will let me feed it, if I'm careful about how I approach.

Where are you at in your life stage?
In a decent place! Lots of wild detours. Met some great people along the way. Learned a lot about myself and what really matters to me. Trying to into all of that more fully with patience, compassion, and a touch of boldness.
How's your life?
Big question. Simple response. I take it a day at a time. I see life is more list a mystery to unfold than a problem to solve. I try to make good choices. I try to be helpful. And I aspire to make the most of every day. I love learning in all forms. I love people and building community. I have done that in some rather unique ways that have helped me see how people and groups share each other. It's one of the things I'm most passionate about.
What helps you keep your sanity?
People and causes I care about. Connecting to things bigger than myself.
What is most important to you right now?
Richer sense of community, more strong friendships that evolve meaningfully over time.
Anything you recently found interesting?
So much that this question is overwhelming. Lol.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m at a transitional point, which I'm sure is fairly typical for someone in their mid-20s! I’m working a temporary job in Santa Cruz while applying to grad school programs across the country. I would love to have some friends in the meantime, as applying to grad school feels like a lonely process!
How's your life?
Overall, it has been fantastic, and I’m very, very, grateful for the progress I have made. Right now, I’m trying to find balance in a busy work schedule. I tend to isolate when I feel overwhelmed, but being lonely isn’t good for my mental health either. I think having some local friends would ground me.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Writing poetry, reading speculative fiction, going on long walks, and dancing and singing to music in my room.
What is most important to you right now?
Self-growth, compassion, community.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Did you know that the modernization of the printing press played a huge role in the development of nation-states and Christianity as a worldwide religion?

As a recent new grad who went through the whole application process, I empathize! It can be harrowing but hang in there! You will get through it. :)

Hey, I was in a similar position 3 years ago, but in the end, everything fell into place. I also write poems and would love to exchange our creations and learn if you'd be interested. :)

Where are you at in your life stage?
I am at a blessed point in my life! And I am focused on developing my skills, social circle, and relationship with God. I am excited to hopefully make new friends!
How's your life?
My life is doing well! I am working a fine job, attending community events, and participating in stable hobbies. Plus, I am a caring and humble female that loves nature and science!
What helps you keep your sanity?
The Bible/Gospel/Word without a doubt keeps me sane. Yeshua died on the cross for me and I have happily given my soul to Him. I am passionate about Spreading His Word. All glory goes to God.
What is most important to you right now?
The most important thing to me right now would have to be my relationship with God, first and foremost, and then it would be growing my social circle. I don’t have a lot of friends, so hopefully I will be blessed in making true ones soon!
Anything you recently found interesting?
Yes, the world is very interesting.
There are many secrets that lie within it.
So, let’s uncover them together!
Blessings to everyone!
