I am right in the middle, somewhere between professional fulfillment and mid-life crisis. Gathered a baggage of life stories and ideas, grew out of a few things, hasn't grown into others. Prefer to think that I'm still open to everything new and exploring life, but maybe I just can't admit that I don't know where I'm headed.

Life's been pretty good, to the point of almost boring sometimes. I got an interesting job and great family, between which I keep alternating in an endless cycle work-home-work. Probably due to this cycle of life I started questioning what and where am I really in life and where it's all going.

My job and my hobbies are mostly creative, like writing or music, which helps to abstract from reality or create a sense of personal achievement. Kind of hooked on this feeling of 'moving somewhere' with what I am doing. Just recently discovered quite the opposite way - just stopping in the moment and meditating. Trying to balance those two modes now.

I am trying to provide some stability in life for my family, being a responsible adult etc. and at the same time leave some time for myself to grow and change for better. Trying to get personal space to pursue my own interests.

I've recently got back into reading and discovered a whole new fields I want to explore more and discuss: humanistic psychology, systems approach to sociology. On the lighter side of life - I can talk about music for hours.

I would say in the best part. I´m new to the states and to have the possibility to live and work in a different country is really exciting. Everyone around me gets Kids but I travel the world and make different experiences. I still have to do a bucket list for places to visit here. Ohh and also I'm 34

Good actually. Work is fullfilling and i have enough free time to see the country. The only thing missing is my friends and family around me so I´m in search for new friends. Sadly there are not alot of places where you can meet new people so I try it on the Internet.

Movies and Icecream helps alot but also the Idea that you can only change a limited amount of things but these are important. Also to get out see that the world that is surrounding you is not as toxic as it seems.

Friends and family but that is easy so I would choose my Visum for the US. It was long process, it nearly took me nearly 2 years but now I have it. I have the opportunity to live completely differently for a while and gain new perspectives on how I want to live my life

So, I´m a really 120% person if I find something interresting I dive deep in the topic and take money in my hands to get involved. A lot of DnD, a lot of movies especially horror latly but also photography, tabletop, hiking or cakes i love cakes.

I'm 30. I'm in a hell of a better place than I was 11 years ago. I work to have a better life for me and the people around me.

It's going well. I'm in a place that allows me time to be who I am on the weekends. Work is work. But when I get home to be a nerd playing games or building gundams it's nice.

Any of my hobbies.be it building the gundams,playing video games, joining a dnd campaign....or even making soap,painting,candles...anything crafty is just as nice.

My family. Which is mostly my siblings and my niece who just came into this world not long ago.

I got into magic the gathering...somewhat addicted....

I spent the last couple of years in what I like to call my "mid-life awakening" and currently am transitioning to v2.0 of myself. Quit corporate America after hitting coastFIRE at 36, to be stay-at-home dog mom / author. Transitioning from a go-go life to slowing down, and trying to enjoy the small things. I had a demanding job that compensated well but also required a lot of travel. I tried to fill my PTO and time-off with *doing" things - travel/concerts etc and now that I quit (thanks to my husband), want to start *being*, learning to take joy in the slow life of cooking fresh food and walking the dog everyday.

I am incredibly grateful for where I am. Childfree, immigrant, eldest daughter lucky to have a bought a house before the pandemic and happily married to an academic who loves his job. Some days I feel like I am living my dream! Looking for more local, meaningful friendships.

Good books, working out, climbing, my husband, caring friends, moving music, therapy, psychology books, learning something new, medicinal plants.

Writing seriously and fixing my muscle imbalances.

There are no bridges built across the Amazon river despite how long the river runs.

In the stage of some soul searching and what comes after. At the start of my career and questioning what I want out of life. I got some answers after a month of solo travel which included an ayahuasca ceremony.

Dealt with some big life changes in my 20s, so moving to CA feels like a new and exciting start to my 30s.

Life is good - but it’s also been a roller coaster. It’s been a story of self discovery and growth. Trying new things and seeing what sticks.

Yoga, meditation, bike riding, books, and music!

I listen to most everything except country. I’m hoping to explore music more with the drums (my bread and butter), guitar, and singing.

Keeping the relationships and connections I have, having creative pursuits, and being the coolest uncle.

Attachment styles in relationships and Mac Millers posthumous albums

Having recently moved solo to CA from my home state of MI, I’m sitting on a land mine of potential new beginnings. I currently have no ties to much of anything and I’m devoted to spending the course of the next year to exploring possible career options, finding my place in the community here, and making brand new connections in a bit of a different social culture. I just turned 21.

Things are pretty and peaceful at the moment. New beginnings have led me to a very blank canvas view on what’s ahead which is a refreshing sentiment. I’m content with my ordinary days but srsly looking forward to filling the space I’ve created with new experiences and deeper connections. I miss my small circle back home.

When my widths are thin I know it’s time take myself on a hike. The nature here is beyond competition with what I’ve had access to before and every second I don’t get to spend taking it all in is one more second I’m waiting to get out there. If I’m not going for a walk I’m sitting outside reading or fumbling my way through the same song on guitar for the 20th time.

It’s most important to me right now to re-learn how to live for myself! Having spent my late teens in towns I didn’t enjoy living in or relationships that kept me from realizing my own potential, my days are now 100% about indulging my inner child and doing whatever feels fulfilling in the moment. My top priority is being authentic so the building blocks of my near future start to come together in a way that sets me up for longer term happiness.

“What was the first fungus?” from History of the earth. Anything Ecology or Botany related is worth time thinking about, especially in the city of trees.

Somewhere between bombastic buffoonery and domestic distraction. Old enough to have shaved off most of the rough edges of youth, but with a little energy left yet. Feeling a growing urge to return to passions to create I had when I was younger; writing, working on mods or an indie game, or building a project car.

I wouldn't walk around bragging, most of the things I'm proud of aren't grand, epic accomplishments, but I'm remarkably happy and content.

6.5 hours of sleep every night and a commitment to never work 90+ hour weeks again. Diving into gaming, which serves as both a form of my escapism as well as a social space to spend time with friends.

Learning to enjoy the moment, even when things don't go as planned. Time spent with family and loved ones; being in my late 30s, I'm getting to the age where I recognize more than ever how important it is to appreciate them while they're still here.

Been on an entire kick about reading histories of game development studios. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
