Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm nearing retirement but I don't feel old. I'm still interested in learning new things and am perpetually curious. It's easy to sit around and do nothing and I do that sometimes...but I'm trying to break out of being too complacent.
How's your life?
I am a very lucky man. Good career, good relationships, living in a great home near the beach. What's to complain about?
What helps you keep your sanity?
Physical exercise. It used to be creative pursuits, but hiking, kayaking, pickleball, etc., etc., seem to be what really interests me.
What is most important to you right now?
Continuing to grow.
Anything you recently found interesting?
We went to see the whales in Guerrero Negro, Baja California, Mexico. The whales come right up to the small boats to interact with humans. It's pretty mind blowing
I'm checking yes on group matches below though I tend to prefer one on one interactions.

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 a 35 year old mother of two. I have a 16 year old son and a 10 year old daughter. I work a lot. I have a full time job and a part time job. I'm also trying to get my bachelor's degree online in soil science. I work as a gardener. I love plants and being outside. I have been sober for almost 5 years.
How's your life?
Man this is a tough question. How is my life. I've struggled with depression and other similar issues most of my life. I often find it hard to see the good stuff for a few reasons. I work a lot and often feel like I'm spinning my wheels and hoping I eventually maybe make it out. Overall I think it is good though. I have a lot to be thankful for! I have healthy kids, food on the table, a reliable vehicle that gets me to work, a job, and a roof. Therapy and working on myself is an ongoing effort. If I could say one thing I would like more of is community and support. Working on balancing everything.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Hiking. As often as possible. Also my dog Kylo helps a lot. I love him so much. Hiking with him is literally my favorite. I also enjoy cross stitching and do that as frequently as I can.
What is most important to you right now?
Honestly just making it through. Haha continuing to check the boxes to try and
Anything you recently found interesting?
I love learning! Lately I've been getting into soil! Holy moly there are so many little critters in soil. It's honestly incredible. I could talk forever about plants from roots to shoots.

Settling. Moved here a few years ago but would like to make more friends. I'm trying to explore new hobbies, especially anything involving art.

Pretty good! I'm hoping to go on more fun little adventures. Or making mundane things into fun little adventures.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Doing creative projects, listening to music, walking outside.
What is most important to you right now?
Connecting with others!

I recently moved closer to the downtown port and get startled when I hear the cruise ships sound their horns! Haha.

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.
