Where are you at in your life stage?
Lots of change in my life right now - recent empty nester and new to my neighborhood. I'm closing in on retirement and working as a consultant. I now have free time to do some of the things I enjoy.
How's your life?
Life is great, and I'm excited about finally having the time to do what I enjoy.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Being outside keeps me sane - hiking, biking, paddleboarding, walking my Great Dane. I've also enjoyed rediscovering reading for fun. To wind down, I love to cook while enjoying a glass of wine.
What is most important to you right now?
I'd love to meet some new like-minded people. I enjoy meeting new people, and working remotely and as a consultant limits my ability.
Anything you recently found interesting?
The world is such a strange place right now. The news never fails to surprise me.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Having recently gotten my feet off the ground, I find myself working at the Camp Pendleton Commissary full time, while I handle expenses and figure out what's next in my journey.
At the age of 24, I still have plenty of youth to go around.
How's your life?
I don't see myself working here forever, but I want to take these months day by day, and discovery much that life has to offer. The only issue is finding those in my area to start becoming grounded with.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I play games, watch online twitch streams or videos, and maybe stream myself rarely.
What is most important to you right now?
I want to try new things, and managing such expectations alongside my job means I have to pace myself. I have only so much time in a day, and only a few days a week can I handle my responsibilities. I'm do it right, it just means that I don't have much to go around.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I just tried my first ever rice cooker, and my goodness I could have been a lot more frugal with my meals.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m 26 and still feel like I’m 22 (ty covid), just graduated and still living with my parents. I’m somewhat hopeful, filled with dreams and ideas but can’t help but feel like I’m stuck in a rut I don’t know how to get myself out of.
How's your life?
I would say my life is pretty static and monotonous at the moment. Even though I’m a dentist I am still feeling a bit of imposter syndrome and I’m afraid of something I can’t figure out…
I’m slowly learning to be kinder to myself, learn to do life and finding myself without the added stress of school and all while trying to incorporate hobbies since I seem to have none.
What helps you keep your sanity?
My dog, he keeps me grounded and forces me to snap back in if I take a minute longer to feed him.
And hope, I hope to achieve the life I daydream about someday, I spend too much time thinking about it instead of living in the present but it’s my way of coping.
What is most important to you right now?
Spending as much time with my dog since he is 11 and his old age is starting to show. I’m afraid I’ll wake up tomorrow and he’ll be gone.
On the other hand, I’m trying not to let myself and my family down while saving as much as I can so I can do my residency in 2025.
Anything you recently found interesting?
There’s a bear in Banff, Canada called “The Boss” who has been hit by a train twice and survived. He still stands on the train tracks like nothing happened.

Where are you at in your life stage?
Being in my mid twenties, I am still trying to figure out who I want to be. Currently I’m working night shifts, and hopefully switching to normal hours soon. I was also going to school for Graphic Communication associates but sadly had to drop out because it was getting too exhausting. I’m hoping to go back as soon as possible.
I’m married, and have two cats. Most likely we won’t have any kids.
I am from Guatemala and moved here in 2017, I love San Diego. Its weather is perfect to do anything, and everyone I’ve met is extremely nice.
How's your life?
Working night shifts atm :(.
Depending on how things go I should start a normal 9-5 soon, I am so looking forward for it. But since that hasn’t happened yet, I’m usually at work from midnight to 8:30am, I’m free from the rest of the day until 2/3pm. I try to keep the same schedule to keep my sanity, or at least what’s left of it.
You can find my at any hiking trails enjoying the weather, and I’ve been trying to get more into everything related to video production. There’s something about multimedia that excites me. I think it’s the ability to communicate so many things to other people using the multimedia.
What helps you keep your sanity?
As I said before, going on hikes or doing anything outdoors. I’ve only gone camping once and I loved it. So I hope I get to go on more adventures.
I also play call of duty, I am not good at all, but it’s fun playing from time to time.
Something that doesn’t really help my sanity, but I want to get into it, is making videos. I think expressing emotions through videos would be something helpful for my mental health.
What is most important to you right now?
The most important thing for me right now is basically surviving. It’s been tough to see the positive in things lately, but I know that with human connection and good people, everything will be better.
Human connection is also important for me. It’s something that helps me get out of my comfort zone, and rewarding at the end.
Anything you recently found interesting?
If you are going through HRT treatment (for transgender people (MF)), your feet will shrink a couple of sizes! I’m not sure if it’s something that happens to everyone, but that’s what happened to my husband’s cousin.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I just turned 30, and I moved to San Diego from the Bay Area in 2021. I am also trying to find a sense of community where I can connect with like-minded folks and have adventures around the city. I'm currently focusing on some hobbies, both new and old. I'm trying to explore to find purpose in life!
How's your life?
My life is okay right now! I have some great physical and artistic hobbies I like to partake in, which keeps me busy. I am in between jobs (thanks layoffs!) trying to find my next move, so that has been a bit stressful. I would love to put myself in new scenarios to expand my horizons.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Reading books (I have a goal of 26 this year), running (training for an upcoming half marathon), acting, ice skating, singing (not well, heh), and skateboarding.
What is most important to you right now?
Finding a community! :)
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently went whale watching and didn't know there were so so many vast whales and dolphins in San Diego's beaches! :D The dolphins were super cute and friendly! :)

Where are you at in your life stage?
Nearing the end of Act II and starting to think about the possibilities for Act III. Older than I should be, but the father of three talented teenagers. Comfortable with my work, not chasing or climbing anything. I like to think I have one more surprise left in me, though.
How's your life?
Keenly aware that the horizon has started edging closer. I'm mindful that I've had a a good run (so far!), and I'm not so foolish to be made ungrateful by the strike of the occasional arrow from the quiver of love, health, or money.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Music for one, movie/anime night with the kids for two, and spending most of Sunday outside working on the never ending stream of projects that come with a small orchard. And of course getting up before anyone else on Sunday and having a quiet cup of coffee while gazing out the window. Also, the sound of rain, and the distant horn of a train echoing far away in the night.
What is most important to you right now?
Kids! Yeah, I know, sounds trite, but it's a wild ride, and there's nothing like the feeling when you do something right. Not entirely unrelated, but being an older dad, maintaining health is key to keeping up with them.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've known about rejection therapy for years, but recently found a you-tuber (jia jiang) who set out to be rejected 100 times, often for asking for ridiculous things from complete strangers. Riding along (virtually) with him adds a whole new dimension to the process and helps inspire the viewer to be more open to challenging themselves in social situations.
