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’m 31 and have moved around a fair bit, landed in Santa Barbara and absolutely love it. I enjoy backpacking, camping, hiking, and climbing and would love to find some outdoor adventure buddies! I also love live music and am always interested in learning something new.
How's your life?
Life is great! I work remotely and have a lot of flexibility. I have a great partner and community through him, and am looking to meet more people and develop my own network as a recent transplant to town.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Nature no question. I love to explore and get out into the wilderness where there’s no service and no concrete.
What is most important to you right now?
The most important thing to me is my people- family and friends. Second is how I spend my time. I try to be intentional about spending my time doing things I love and am looking for like-minded people to share those experiences with.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I learned today there is a species of lizard in Santa Barbara whose blood kills lymes disease. Nature is neat!

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’ve been commuting to San Jose for school or work since 2010. While I do have some friends I find it hard to make time to work on a social circle considering the commute and needing to get home to feed my cats.
How's your life?
I’m starting to realize that I need to get out and enjoy life while I can. I found myself recently single, and I'm still trying to figure out how to live life only worrying about myself.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Getting to do things outdoors, like hiking and camping. Going to standup comedy shows and just trying to relax. I was really into fostering/raising kittens, but stopped after my partner and I split. I'm still a big cat person (and a cat dad).
What is most important to you right now?
Recently found myself single after a long term relationship, so I’m transitioning into figuring out how to do just do things on my own now.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently got back into working out and just trying to stay active. I think I found a new hobby in hiking at state/county parks & trails. I'm also very into trying new food spots and expanding my bookmarks of places to eat.

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!

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
Photography
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
What is most important to you right now?
Relationships
Health
Community
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?
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!
