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 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?
In my early 30’s. Continuously learning. I just moved to LA for school from the Bay so, in the process of establishing new routines and patterns to be succesful.
How's your life?
Life is pretty decent. It’s the beginning of a new beginning, so there’s much to look forward to. Exploring the city, trying out different events. I feel like I got a late start, but I am on the cusp of deciding my future.
What helps you keep your sanity?
My dog, walking and playing with him. Hiking on occasion and a lot of reading. I just finished Heidigger’s Being and Time, and am looking for the next one. Also thrifting to decorate this new apartment is taking up much of my time.
What is most important to you right now?
My mental health, my family. Establishing healthy patterns and connections. It’s daunting moving to a city as large as Los Angeles, so finding a solid base and establishing good connections with others are my main goals currently.
Anything you recently found interesting?
The cultural paradigm that is Social Media, and how it has affected our world. I am not a big fan of it, but it seems to be a neccessary evil in Los Angeles. Walking around seeing people vlog themselves, people dressed like they know they will be taking photos for instagram later, even at parties, where people aren’t dancing, just huddled up for various pictures and videos then leaving. Is it possible to be present, in a world that exists for memories?

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm a 57 year old, happily married, Englishman.
I used to be a programmer but when my wife's career brought us to California I retired and I'm reinventing myself as an artist. I paint in oils, mostly portraits with the odd horse or dog thrown in for good measure.
How's your life?
Life is good. Stable and secure.
I do suffer terribly from procrastination with my art but I'll sort that out soon.
Well, soonish.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I bounce from hobby to hobby: sculpture, motorcycles, leather working, photography, macro photography, scuba, scuba photography, writing fiction, traditional art, AI art...
I enjoy things most when I'm in the learning phase but once I know what I'm doing I get sidetracked by something new.
Oh look! A squirrel.
What is most important to you right now?
Our four cats. All rescues. All very demanding day and night. I've just made them a climbing wall which they love.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Edward Bernays works on public opinion and propaganda. If you can control the media you can control the minds of the masses.
It's hard to fight even when you know it's happening. Propaganda can even reshape the notion of what a good life is.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Settling into a new job, hoping I am adulting it right. Learning how to adjust to my new normal. I've been told that I look young for my age, but my body aches tell me otherwise.
How's your life?
Good for the most part, but always searching for what it means to lead a healthier and fulfilling life.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Music, reading, and long walks
What is most important to you right now?
Learning to cultivate a sense of inner peace and to celebrate the small wins.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Been binging on YouTube videos about interior designing a home. Didn't realize how much thought goes into it.

So much thought goes into interior design! It's been a long process of me learning what works...and I feel like I'm still learning. I'm really impressed with people who are good at decorating their homes!

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm in my late twenties, am married, and have two dogs. I'm at a point where I'm trying to live and enjoy life; I spend time with friends and family, explore the city, and take part in my community.
How's your life?
I enjoy my life and the people in it. However, I find myself wanting to experience a greater breadth of people and activities that I find fulfilling. I have only lived in LA for about a year, and I always look forward to meeting new people, exploring the city, and doing new things.
What helps you keep your sanity?
My friends, my hobbies, and getting out into the world. I always enjoy meeting up with a friend and having great conversations. At home I love books, puzzles, crocheting, adult coloring books, and anything that keeps my mind active and has a creative element. I love good film and TV, and taking it in and discussing it with others. I like to exercise at home but also attend group classes; I enjoy working out as part of a community. I love getting out into the city and walking around; I feel very fortunate to live near the beach, and walking along The Strand is one of my very favorite things to do.
What is most important to you right now?
I want to enjoy life; I want spend time with the people I love, meet new people, enjoy new experiences, and take part in community.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I love learning behind the scenes and movie trivia and find it incredibly interesting. I also find historical facts interesting, and really facts in general; I really like a good article but am also a fan of listicles.
