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?
I turned 30 this year, and even though I moved to Southern California from the Bay Area in October, I've been traveling so much that I haven't had a chance to settle in. With work calming down and summer coming, I hope to stay put and explore the new(ish) area I’ve decided to call home.
How's your life?
For some time now, my life has been a constant journey of navigating transitions in every aspect—personal, community, work, and even my sense of identity. It's been a lot to process, and I've had to cope with the grief that comes with it.
Right now, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the changes at work. All things considered, I'm doing my best to hang in there.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Over the past year, I've made it a priority to focus on rest. No matter how hectic work gets, I always try to carve out time for a break or just to catch my breath.
Gaming, sitcoms, and anime are perfect for quick escapes—they're my go-to for short breaks during the day. It's great to be able to disconnect when needed.
What is most important to you right now?
Finding a sense of community. While I do have friends, I often feel more like an outsider who gets invited to join their social group, rather than really being part of it.
Anything you recently found interesting?
The taste of roasted pork flavored Lays. I picked up a bag while I was traveling and it’s smoky, slightly sweet but also meaty. I’d love recommendations on where I can pick up exotic snacks locally!

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm about to start my 30s and still feel lost in life. No real direction but also not really looking for anything either. I take life slowly and everything catches my attention.
How's your life?
I'm working full time in downtown LA while taking college courses part time to qualify for taking the CPA exam. My day to day is mainly work, studying when classes are back in session, sometimes hanging out with friends on weekday nights and being with my partner on weekends. It still feels like my social life is lacking, like I don't have many friends that I really click with or could imagines being friends with even in old age.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I read mostly manga and manhwa, ever since a friend got me started back in middle school. I try to read actual books but default to audiobooks because then I can multitask. Murder podcasts are also a fave: Morbid, Psychopedia, Buried bones. Some comedy podcasts as a palate cleanser: The Dollop, Sometimes Funny Always Awkward. I also love binging kdramas, shows, and some movies off Netflix.
What is most important to you right now?
My number one importance will be my cat. Next up, probably making more friends and finding a nice group. Maybe it was the whole COVID thing, but socializing just feels quieter now. Most of my friends now I've known since middle school, but not really any new friends with other shared interests.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've never been great at makeup, more so because of lack of practice and the amount of time, money and effort it takes. I'm working on those skills now 😊
I've tried archery and Brazilian jiu jitsu before, and now I'm thinking of getting back into them. Just casual archery practice and looking for a suitable jiu jitsu place to join.

Any particular series you're currently reading or would recommend? Audiobooks are a fantastic way to consume books, especially when you're multitasking. Do you have a favorite audiobook or genre you enjoy most?

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m currently at what feels like a limbo state in between learning to be content with my life and trying to get the most of what’s out there. I’m 25 and while it’s supposedly an age of discovery, It’s also challenging trying to figure out who I am. Sometimes it feels like trying new activities, meeting new people, going places feels like putting a square peg into a round hole. Life’s a bit complicated trying to find the sweet spot between my introverted desires but not letting myself become a total homebody haha
How's your life?
Ultimately, I feel like life is decent. Moving to a new city, making friends in the area, and being financially stable. I feel like I should be feeling happy that things are making the progress it is, but I’m still left wondering that life SHOULD feel more. Maybe that’s because I’ve watched too many movies/shows and have a distorted idea of what life can be.
It’s a struggle but I think that the struggle is what makes life worth living. If I didn’t feel the struggle in the past, would I have truly appreciated the things I have now at this moment? I don’t believe so. Everyday I get closer to who I truly am.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Reading books, exploring new hobbies, and visiting neighborhood restaurants. I’ve been reading everyday of my life and take books with me just about everywhere I go.
But honestly, I think exploring new hobbies has been a real rewarding experience. From camping for the first time as an adult, connecting to folks and moving to LA as a result… that same social group connecting me to a food kitchen volunteer event where I made a friend inviting me to go to an open mic, singing on the stage… I think all of these new experiences, while intimidating, show me that there’s a lot of interesting things out there in the world.
What is most important to you right now?
Health and friendship.
After going through some health struggles, I think I am truly realizing how much of a blessing good health truly is. Although I am making strides and progress (going to the gym, better diet, sleeping), there’s still a lot to move towards.
Friends is a bit complicated. People never told me how hard it was to make friends post-college. It’s tough. Moving to a new city, breaking into social circles, exploring hobbies. Time is valuable and trying to make time to find yourself and others is hard. Everyone is doing the same and it makes me truly treasure the people I have right now which I can call my friends.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I’ve recently gotten into mixology. I recently became a brand ambassador for an alcohol company and from there, I’ve dived into the world of cocktails and making drinks. It’s a nice way to relax after a long day exploring a new way to make tasty creations.
