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.

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!

Where are you at in your life stage?
Im in my late 20's. I'm focused on finding the correct work/life balance. I love to travel,have adventures and go places I've never seen but i cant always call out from work. Recently I've made some solo trips across-the-states and im addicted. I also want to focus on my career growth. Its hard finding a balance. . I wouldn't mind hearing some advice on what people did around my age.
How's your life?
Honestly,I love my life. Not to jinx myself but I'm an extremely lucky person. Things always work out for me in one way or another. My life is boring compared to others but It'll due..it'll due.
What helps you keep your sanity?
My sanity is hanging by a hair ;) . I have a mental internal dialog running a mile a minute some days. Other days,there's nothing going on up there. I guess my humor keeps me sane but then again theres a study linking dark humor and dementia. They might go hand and hand.
What is most important to you right now?
Building core memories and living life. I made it my personal goal to visit all 50 states by my self. So far 11 down. I've stamped my national forest postcard/passport book in those states. .I can't wait until it's completed :) I want to know what out there.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Aliens and inter-dimensional beings. My mind can't grasp the concept of a 4th or 5th plane. Any one been to area 51 yet? I tried going but the Google maps led me to a fence.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m in my mid-thirties, single, feeling more settled in my career. Outside of work, I go to movies (AMC A-List member), cross stitch, read, and spend time with friends. A lot of friends have gotten married, had kids, moved out of town, etc, so I feel a little different from a lot of my peers.
How's your life?
It’s going pretty well! I love the work that I do—it feels very meaningful to me. I have a 15 year-old cat who makes me so happy. I have a few close friends who I care about deeply. I’d like to meet more people who have a good amount of self-awareness (maybe from going to therapy) and enjoy having deeper conversations.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Listening to music, going for walks, making an effort to be present in the moment, having good conversations, spending time with animals, going to museums.
What is most important to you right now?
My relationships are really important to me. I value my friendships and enjoy getting to know new people.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I just read two great books, The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury and Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano. I went to the LA county fair and loved seeing the many types of art people submit for competitions. I learned at a recent trivia night that the final single off Michael Jackson’s album Thriller was in fact Thriller.

Dig your emphasis on music + books + movies - I live in DTLA, so make the 30 minute trek to the Alamo Drafthouse here (where I've got a pass!) to check out the latest flicks all too often. Would love to trade movie and music opinions with you, so I'll shoot you a coffee invite.

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.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Tomato sauce in macaroni and cheese goes a shockingly long way!

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm in my mid-twenties, about to turn 25. I'm at a cross-roads because I am not sure if I want to focus on my current career or try something new. I think I want to go back to school, but I am worried about giving up the past few years of hard work.
How's your life?
It's good on the surface. I have a good job, friends, live in a decent apartment in a nice neighborhood, but I feel like something is missing. I do not feel fulfilled by what I am doing in my day-to-day life and I often feel misunderstood or like I don't really have a community to belong to or anywhere I can be myself on a regular basis.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Going for walks and runs, playing pickup basketball, and seeing my friends. Anything that can shift my focus and take me out of my own mind for a while.
What is most important to you right now?
Figuring out what I want my next 5 years to look like.

Where are you at in your life stage?
21F working on getting the experience all jobs seem to require while working to improve myself.
How's your life?
Pretty good to be honest. I’ve picked up exercising again and I’m working on learning new skills or hobbies. (If you have something you’re good at and willing to teach me I’d be happy to learn).
What helps you keep your sanity?
At the moment it’s between going to the park or the library. There’s just something about the atmosphere in a library and being surrounded by books.
What is most important to you right now?
The most important thing to me right now is personal growth. Which is why you’ll see that i talk about exercise, reading, and learning new things. It’s also why I want to work on connecting with new people.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I thought it was interesting how long it takes to learn a new language. I had just never thought of it. People take years to learn a new language and still might only be intermediate. But I guess the time will pass anyways so might as well dedicate it to learning something.
