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

Quarter Life Crisis: Extended Edition
How's your life?
It's fine but definitely missing something. Like people. I just moved here from Austin and it's a different world out here. I'm still adjusting to the culture and struggling to make connections so giving this a try
What helps you keep your sanity?
My dog. I've had a string of rough years and she's gotten me through it. No matter how bad it got I had to keep going so she would be okay
What is most important to you right now?
I came here for a fresh start. I don't know what that will look like but I need to figure out who I am and what I want
Anything you recently found interesting?
You can't do life alone, no matter how okay you think you are with it

Where are you at in your life stage?
I feel like I'm at that sweet spot - financially stable enough to pretty much fly wherever I want (barring any diplomatically challenged destinations) or get into whatever newfangled hobby I decide to fixate on next, but still "young" and fortunate enough to have no life-altering responsibilities like major health issues, children, or parents in need of care. My social circle is pretty small (and could be bigger *ahem*) but while no one is really married yet, people are definitely getting close to being engaged.
How's your life?
I often find myself getting caught up putting out the everyday little dumpster fires, but standing back everything is objectively well. Sure, I might not care for my job at all, but I think I've come to terms that I value the stability it gives me over any sense of job fulfillment. I have a few close friends that I talk with often, and a group of physically close friends who are always down to go on adventures with. However, that group is starting to break apart slowly as people move away (in Los Angeles, that means they're moving more east or south... I'll miss them). I'd love to connect with more people and perhaps go on adventures and explore hobbies and restaurants with them.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I watch probably too much TV (but "good" TV! and a guilty pleasure reality show every once in a while. If a while is once a month. Maybe twice. Or once a week. Ok, I may go through bouts of heavy TV binging).
I also love doing stuff with my hands (crafting, art, music in an aspirational sense) and I try to stay active through yoga, climbing (though I'm definitely in a climbing slump right now, totally not because I've finally grown my nails out without picking at them and they just look so pretty with nail polish!), snowboarding, and squishing my dog. Oh, I love eating and going out too. Concerts as well. Did I cover all the common categories yet?
What is most important to you right now?
Health is my top priority, and second is developing and maintaining my relationships with others, though you could probably argue that the two are related if not part of the same thing.
Anything you recently found interesting?
If you watch enough instagram reels of something, you start to slowly embody whatever you consume. I like watching cute memes and some of my unconscious behaviors have slowly regressed in age because of it. I can not explain why I am now meowing like the meme cats but here we are.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m in graduate school right now and moved into LA last year in the fall. I feel like I am in a transitionary stage in my life, where everyone else I know not in graduate school are living a "normal" life while I am stuck in school.
How's your life?
My life is simultaneously busy and free at the same time. The nature of my job lets me decide my own schedule to an extent. It can be stressful and relaxing at times, like the phases of the moon over a month.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Keeping my apartment and work area organized and clean keeps me sane. I find that being organized and clean is an aspect of my life I can control, compared to everything else in life where I am helpless to other peoples' decisions.
What is most important to you right now?
Planning for the future and enjoying the moment now. I want to not be unprepared for the future, but not get bogged down in planning for the future where I'll waste the time I have right now, to spend with friends and family.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Starting sports, like pickleball, surfing, and golfing. I also was interested in marathons, unique bars, traveling, different restaurants, clubs, and etcétera. I'm out to try new things while I can and hopefully click with something that I'll truly love.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm about to turn 30 and I'm still finding myself, my calling and my community. I recently quit my stressful tech job to recharge and I figured I'd give this a try since I have more time to meet new people and try new things.
How's your life?
Comfortable but a little more solitary and boring than I'd like it to be!
What helps you keep your sanity?
Exercising, watching sports (go Eagles!), playing the guitar and piano (badly), hanging out with friends (although I could use a few more!)
What is most important to you right now?
Spending time with friends and family, embracing more of a hakuna matata mindset, taking care of my health
Anything you recently found interesting?
The mind/body connection. I have a history of chronic back pain and I've tried a lot of different solutions that haven't done the trick. Recently I came across this concept of pain reprocessing therapy, which helps people retrain their brain and reduce pain.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m in my mid-30s and currently experiencing a significant period of reflection and uncertainty about the future. Not being married and without kids, I feel grateful and privileged to have this unique opportunity to focus on myself and my personal growth.
I appreciate the freedom I have now to make decisions that are entirely my own, and I’m using this period to set the foundation for a future that aligns with my true self.
I’m embracing this phase as a period of potential and possibility. It’s okay that I don’t have everything figured out—many people in their mid-30s are navigating similar uncertainties. I’m using this time to reflect on what brings me joy and fulfillment, and I’m considering how I can incorporate those elements into my life moving forward.
How's your life?
Life is great right now, but I feel it could be even better with more social connections. I've been focusing a lot on personal growth and enjoying the freedom that comes with being single and without kids. However, I recognize the value of building a stronger social network and connecting more deeply with others. Strengthening these relationships would add another layer of richness and fulfillment to my life.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I make sure to walk every day and spend time outdoors, which really helps clear my mind. Going to the gym regularly and eating well are also crucial parts of my routine. I am also a foodie so I love to explore new restaurants that are always coming online. I've gotten into real estate investing so I would love to discuss more with anyone who has dabbled in real estate. I also love to travel and am currently in the beginning stages of learning espanol
What is most important to you right now?
Finding a community I can connect with after living in New York for the past 5 years, LA is my hometown and yet I feel a stranger to it since I've lived here. I would love to find like-minded group of friends.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Recently, I’ve found it interesting to see how much I value and honor things that truly resonate with me. I’ve developed the confidence to cut off things that no longer serve me, which has been incredibly empowering. This ability to make decisions that align with my values has brought a sense of clarity and peace to my life.
