Where are you at in your life stage?
Trying to enjoy my youth before I need to start planning for kids. After the pandemic lock down, I feel like I lost a lot of time so the last few years has been a lot of trips, new experiences and hobbies.
How's your life?
I call it the boring middle but honestly I think I'm at the best place in my life right now. I enjoy my job and I have work life balance to be able to travel and have time to work out or meet up with friends after work so I can't really complain. I do think about aspirations sometimes of starting my own business or making a huge change like moving overseas but maybe it can still happen later?
What helps you keep your sanity?
My dog :D eating amazing food! Therapy , more self care,just started learning how to meditate. Learning how to appreciate the small things in life
What is most important to you right now?
My physical and mental health. Everything started getting sore and cracking after I turned 30 T.T
Anything you recently found interesting?
Recently started doing pottery and pickleball!

Where are you at in your life stage?
I am 23 and married. I just moved across the country and am trying to improve my health through the fitness.

I would say my life is pretty good. I have a roof over my head and food in my stomach.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I go to the gym for my sanity a lot, but I do also enjoy reading and playing video games.
What is most important to you right now?
I would say the most important things to me right now are definitely my cats.

Ha! That ship has sailed.

My family and chasing my dreams

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m content, happy, learning gratitude, acceptance. I’ve learned to prioritize happiness, well I’m still learning.
I’m 42, I feel the same as I always have, just a little wiser.
Making connections is a little difficult for me due to my job. I do think shared experiences are more memorable so I’m hoping to meet some good people here for either intelligent conversation, outdoor activities, or both.
How's your life?
My life is good, I’m very fortunate. My work rotation is 4 weeks on / 4 weeks off. So I’m either gone, or in San Diego with lots of time. I work internationally and have for most of my career.
My younger brother and his family who I’m very close to are moving to Miami, so that’s a big change for me.
What helps you keep your sanity?
The gym, family, having a job that I enjoy, walks, plants, fostering dogs, surfing, snorkeling La Jolla, swimming to the sea caverns.
What is most important to you right now?
Mental and physical health. Being present, going to the beach. Enjoying my life.
Anything you recently found interesting?
3 Body Problem, thinking about the concepts and science in the show, and the Dark Forest hypothesis.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm 37, married, working a job I (mostly) like. Made a bunch of changes in my life in the past 4 years that have made a big impact on me. Hoping to make some new connections and enrich life through those.
How's your life?
Not too dramatic. Very average. Work is hectic, trying to fill the days with fun things to do outside of that.
What helps you keep your sanity?
My pets who provide structure in my daily life and provide many funny situations, music and routines.
What is most important to you right now?
Enjoyment. Simply finding enjoyment in day to day life.
Anything you recently found interesting?
How Simon Reynolds manages to humanize John Lydon in his book Rip it Up and Start Again, when the guy is kind of a prick.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m in that exciting phase of life where I’m chasing big goals, figuring out what truly matters, and learning how to make the perfect cup of coffee without Googling it. Balancing ambition with joy, and always down for adventures, late-night talks, and finding the best local food spots.
How's your life?
Life’s in that wild sweet spot between chasing big goals and laughing at how unpredictable it all is. It’s a mix of clarity, chaos, and late-night thoughts about what really matters—plus the occasional cereal-for-dinner moment.
What helps you keep your sanity?
A good playlist, solo walks that feel like side quests, and reminding myself that no one really has it all figured out. Oh—and not taking life too seriously (except when deciding on pizza toppings).
What is most important to you right now?
Right now, it’s all about chasing goals, enjoying the ride, and not losing my AirPods again.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Recently found out octopuses have nine brains, and now I feel personally attacked for struggling to answer emails with just one.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m somewhere between quarter life crisis and on top of the world. My 30th birthday is next week & life keeps getting more interesting. I relocated to San Diego almost 6 years ago, the biggest challenge has been making genuine connections since leaving home.
How's your life?
I’ve got some good things going for me. I have a supportive and loving husband, the means to experience things that bring me joy (traveling, eating, sitting on patios drinking wine), my job is mostly good. The thing that keeps nagging at me is my lack of connection here in Southern California, and generally, actually. I don’t really have a family. I miss having close friends near by.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Good food, reality TV & getting outside.
What is most important to you right now?
Health & happiness. My marriage. Growth. Meaningful connections.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I recently listened Trejo, by Danny Trejo, on audible. I didn’t know what I expected when I bought the book, but wow, I was immediately hooked. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a good laugh but also a compelling story.
