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?
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?
Entering into my early 30’s and the most stable I’ve ever been, which is nice and comforting but also a little terrifying. I have a stable job that I enjoy, but am feeling like now is the time to go big on some adventurous dreams before my life circumstances prevent me from doing so.
How's your life?
Life is good. I’m incredibly fortunate to live in a place that allows me to stay active outdoors and with a caring community of friends. My physical and mental health are my greatest wealth that I have the time to tend to daily.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Submerging myself in water whether it be swimming, surfing, diving, or just a quick dip
What is most important to you right now?
Following my hearts true path and desires.

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?
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?
I recently turned 41. I feel much younger but doesn't everybody?
How's your life?
Its pretty good overall. I have a super fulfilling job, I have a fulfilling relationship, but I have always struggled with the idea of living well. It was kind of moot in Utah since it was so constraining, but now that we are in California its really coming back to the fore
What helps you keep your sanity?
My work, actually. I adore my job I've gotten incredibly lucky in what I do. But also now that I am in California, the redwoods. The redwoods are my favorite place in the world, by far.
What is most important to you right now?
I think trying to find peace. Trying to live in a way that feels intentionally positive. I've always really wanted to live in a way that felt sustainable and peaceful but I've always struggled to do so, and I really want to work on that.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've been thinking a lot about why I find the Syrian revolution so hopeful.
