Where are you at in your life stage?
I am married to my lovely wife. We have 3 kids, a 4 year old and 2 year old twins. Both of us work too much for too little money but we are settling into being a family and just trying to find friends to join in our journey through life.
How's your life?
It's mostly great. I like my job and am working to getting further in my career. My kids drive me crazy but I wouldn't change it for the world. My spouse is super supportive of my. We are working together to make healthier life choices for our bodies and our wallets.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I have started 3d resin printing and painting the models and it's so peaceful. I also listen to audio books (typically different nonfiction / fantasy genres). And I really enjoy doing yard work, growing something fun, and keeping it clean and tidy for our kids to play in
What is most important to you right now?
My family. While I love my quiet time I love spending all the time I can with my kids and wife. We work too much to not spend time together whenever we can. And I work as much as I dare to make sure they get what they need!
Anything you recently found interesting?
I just started 3d printing and even newer to painting. I never thought I would have any artistic ability but I am not half bad at the painting!

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m a 20 y/o undergraduate student studying psychology in Los Angeles! I’m a SoCal native but I haven’t explored as much of LA as I’d like to—I’d like to change that and make a friend or two in the process!
How's your life?
Just trying to balance school, internships, and finding time to meet people from all walks of life :)
What helps you keep your sanity?
Creating (I illustrate/design sometimes!), reading (memoirs, fantasy, mystery), and watching every movie under the sun at any local LA theaters (favorites: Princess Mononoke, Tampopo, Ocean’s Eleven).
I also loveee walking and traveling around LA when I have the time and resources to do so (I tend go alone via my college transit pass lol).
What is most important to you right now?
Being secure in who I am! Whether that be through career development, helping my community, or making closer connections with my friends (and potential friends!)—I just want to put myself out there more often, especially as an infp :,)
Anything you recently found interesting?
Not sure what to say here…but you should stream this song (it’s one of my favorites! the character as well 🐈⬛): https://open.spotify.com/track/6VTnxajMD15WSIkbrtpw7e?si=qggEvJmoRNCc526KkNE76g

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m a 44 year mom of two kids with so much left to learn. Married but separating, I’m a worker always with interesting gigs involving civil rights and teaching. I feel I’m halfway through life. And I want to know what’s next.
How's your life?
My life needs change so my brain can get stimulated in new ways. My time focuses on family, reading, walking, kindness, and lots of spiritual reflection.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Doing Yoga every morning before everybody else wakes up. With hot coffee. While watching bad reality TV on low volume. A blissful routine.
Started this routine while serving in the Peace Corps in Malawi, Africa (minus the watching TV part) 16 years ago, when the reality of the world around me began to weigh my shoulders in an unpleasant way.
What’s helpful about it is there’s no goal to be achieved. It is a basic good habit for me in every way.
What is most important to you right now?
Growing up. Doing new things. Being challenged. Laughing. Moving forward. Seeing layers and accepting them.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I was substitute teaching a high school gym class recently.
After I took attendance I started a conversation with a young gal sitting by herself by asking “Do you have any plans for this coming week off of school (Thanksgiving Break)?”. She said “I might move.” I asked her where she would be moving to and she responded, “a different foster home.” She then told she had 7 biological siblings with her at this current home and they will probably be separated now into different homes.
Because of work and personal experience I have some familiarity with the system she is going through. Her story was a good reminder. 1) you never really know what anyone else is going through in their lives/hearts/minds 2) you’re lucky, self. You’re really lucky

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm in my late 20s enjoying the digital nomad lifestyle while simultaneously going after some of the most notorious cyber threat actors and working to disrupt their operations. I've been fortunate to live in different places, with Paris being my most recent "home" but I'm happy to be back in LA (my hometown). I'm still debating whether or not I should go forward with an MBA, with the acceptance letters gathering the proverbial "dust" in my inbox. I'm single, childfree (as far as I'm aware), but I enjoy meeting new people regardless of where they are in their lives.
How's your life?
Peaceful, serene, and tranquil. I just wrapped up my 7th cross country roadtrip that took me to 47 out of 50 states. Cumulatively, it took me about 3 years to pull it off all while not taking a single day of vacation because everyday is/was vacation. It's nice to stay at home without juggling multiple time zones while spending time re-exploring my neighborhood.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I love taking my car out to the racetracks and competing with my friends. I love Formula One and it's fun emulating some of the techniques that drivers like Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton use to shave seconds off their lap times. And there is something incredibly therapeutic about going into a tight turn at near-triple speeds, exiting the corner while flooring the accelerator, and not worrying about getting ticketed! The sheer adrenaline overload and g-force are enough to knock the stress out of me and jolt me back to reality.
When I'm not behind the wheel, I enjoy photography, skiing, cooking, and checking out new coffee shops in town.
What is most important to you right now?
I'd like to build a solid friendship group here in LA while putting myself out there for romantic connections. The unexpected downside of being an introvert is that I can be utterly fearless in conventionally risky endeavors, like jumping out of a plane or traveling to countries that are not on good terms with the US, but find it daunting to meet new people.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently found out that the spacecraft I helped build is launching to space later this year after surviving multiple Congressional budget cuts and the designated rocket becoming mature enough for the mission. It'll help humanity get one step closer to finding out whether or not there's life beyond our planet.

@Minty Hmm it depends on my entry speed. But usually I am flooring it at the apex exit or maintaining power while going into it. Haven’t tried drift tracks but I’d love to try. Do you take your car to the track? What’s the nerdiest thing you’ve done?
Reply to bravetoaster
Minty
@bravetoaster Yeah, gassing it at the exit feels grippier fs. I've never tracked! It's on my list, along with underground Yokohama meets. I'm nerdy everyday, so the most is hard to say. (Shh. At least not publicly. Sheesh.)

Where are you at in your life stage?
I just graduated school a year ago in the midway and have felt weird since- moving to the school was my first time being out of my home city and I was scared for the changes; but ended up loving the community that I created. I was able to find a job with my degree and am happy that I can start my career and am worried about creating a comminity
How's your life?
I think life has been good! I'm really fortunate to have locing parents whom I can talk to- and a lot of good friends that I have made as well. I moved out to Los Angeles recently, and the worry of trying to create a community is currently at my forefront, but I am optimistic I will be able to do so!
What helps you keep your sanity?
Talking to friends and family and having plans for the future help me keep my sanity. I have realized that often I look to far
In the future and miss what is currently happening; which I think is an issue but also helps keep motivated and calm if there is a struggle in the mean time.
What is most important to you right now?
Probably just building a community and making friends! I want to meet as many people as possible. From traveling I've realized the most
Fun part of life is meeting people & experiencing things with each other.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've been. Learning Spanish recently and one thing that really interested me is so many words from English can translate to Spanish! If it ends it with -tion it probably has Latin roots and can be used as a Spanish verb

How's your life?
Pretty good, I work and try to get out as much as possible. I spend my time reading a lot, going to museums with my wife, going to bars with friends, watching movies, and trying new things.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Books (specifically history, economics, psychology, philosophy), good people, good whiskey, movies, travel, shows, music. I live for a good debate, I love trying to get to the bottom of different topics and ideas, and having mine challenged.
What is most important to you right now?
My wife, developing my career, meeting new people, exploring the city, making memories. I want to learn as much as I can from other people, and develop lifelong relationship.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I find new things interesting constantly. I recently got deep into Russian history, history of the Vietnam war, different psychological approaches to persuation, a few hot political topics, and in a very sharp turn from all previously mentioned, Japanese whiskey.
