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

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!

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 26, training for a 26 mile run! Just moved to Los Angeles, CA from Portland, OR! Missing the good friends I made in Oregon and the beautiful nature scene, but also excited to explore a new city with the delicious food spots it comes with! I'm a WFH engineer at Intel.
How's your life?
It’s going. I feel like life is passing me by so quickly. Sometimes I go hard at work and focus on climbing the corporate ladder. Sometimes I feel the want to go into the wilderness and disconnect from the world. Sometimes I want to play a board games with friends and get some great food. Sometimes I get lost in a single player story video game.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Right now, my dog and my partner. Going out to eat tasty food together and watching my dog living her best life keeps me going. And cookies :)
What is most important to you right now?
Not getting injured while marathon training. Connecting with new people in the area. Learning and growing into adulthood.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Like many here at a stage to find purpose and value to our lives. Left tech role to 'find myself' and exploring some ideas that is close to my heart(Artsy and very LA)
How's your life?
Its been a journeybut the journey is the best part.The more challenges one goes through the stronger they become( but can also lead to burnout- which is exactly why we on this forum right?)
What helps you keep your sanity?
Regular workouts music( Deephouse or Electronic) and Driving( Yes I love to drive even in LA)
What is most important to you right now?
Finding purpose while also ensuring bills can be paid. Making sure close old ' open wounds' and improve life outlook and approach. Its not a Midlife crisis rather Mid life recalibration and looking to embrace it all.
Anything you recently found interesting?
how everyone around my age is rethinking things around them including their relationships jobs career and even money( and how they are all linked) I am interested in knowing what drives and motivates people to keep moving forward( or not) and hoping to make an impact with my insights and experiences

Where are you at in your life stage?
I feel like I’m starting a new life and in the nascent stages of forming a cocoon so that I can turn into a butterfly. I just moved to LA for a job without knowing anyone here. I left all my friends and family behind in the midwest, but I was so happy to do so, as I am looking for new beginnings.
How's your life?
My life is good! I’ve been focusing on personal growth for 2024 and most of that includes self improvement of my mental and physical health. Looking forward I would like to grow and explore more of who I am, try different hobbies and meet new people to see what truly makes me happy.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I keep my sanity by talking to my most trusted friends, and exercising.
What is most important to you right now?
What is most important for me is to establish roots in LA and work on making it feel like home. I know it’s gonna be a long journey but I’m welcoming it with open arms.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I just learned about Internal Family Systems which is a specialization of therapy that believes your mind is made up of discrete subpersonalities. It’s been extremely helpful in my mental health journey.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm trying to narrow down my interests with work (music and audio), and curate a smaller group of friends who I really vibe with. I've always been a quality over quantity kind of person, and that's only gotten more important as I've gotten older.
I work in music and I'm finally finding my niche with a worthwhile, sustainable career and it's definitely fed my optimistic streak. It's an industry that's incredibly wide, so finally finding consistent networking in my little niche has been really fulfilling.
When it comes to friendships and relationships, I think I've experienced enough to know that I can stop looking everywhere for everything. A really quality conversation with one person feels a lot better than just an okay one with five people I'll never see again at a party across town from me.
How's your life?
I'm an eternal optimist, for better and worse. I love to find meaning in my interactions, whether they be significant or just day-to-day. I'm someone who never likes to take his happiness for granted. Does that sound melodramatic?
What helps you keep your sanity?
Good exercise, making my own ice cream, and the knowledge that the future is unwritten. I also have a real interest in spiritual stuff, but I usually don't talk about it because I don't want to weird people out. All I'll say is that sometimes I just like to surrender to the unknown and see where life takes me.
I've spent so many years racing around trying to make things happen right away because "you have to do things with your most productive years" but I'm finding it's best to be patient and use my experience.
What is most important to you right now?
Maintaining good form with my weight lifting, and keeping in time with my rhythm guitar playing!
Aside from that, pushing forward with my newest career opportunities, and trying to keep a level head. This might sound ironic, but life actually feels less uncertain for me these days, and I want to take advantage of that.

Tomato sauce in macaroni and cheese goes a shockingly long way!

Where are you at in your life stage?
Just trying to balance work, social life, family. It seems as thought I'm living in a repetitive state of mind. What I mean by that. I don't do anything else besides waking up, get to work, eat lunch, then come home, and eat dinner, shower, and repeat it all over. I don't even have time to watch shows that I've been interested in for years. However, I want to shake up this routine by ho hoping to step outside my comfort zone and meet people. I believe that lead to a balance life.
How's your life?
So far, quite okay. No drama in my life because I'm just so busy all the time. I would say my day starts at 6:30am and lasts until 7pm. Commuting takes a chunk of the day. And then rinse and repeat - quite boring
What helps you keep your sanity?
Watching a show here and there in the weekends and taking walks when work gets overwhelmed. I tend to be really boring when I have some spare time. I sleep in so that also reduce the amount my wake window therefore I don't do too much that's interesting.
What is most important to you right now?
Basically family, friends, and work. They are important however, I rarely go out with friends. I wish I can see them more often but we are all getting older and have demabdi jobs that cause is to end up rot in bed during the weekends. I want to change this habit.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Just been getting into Sudoku and it's quite fun to say the least. I pay this on the weekends during some spare time.
