What is one way that you have challenged yourself to do something outside your comfort zone? I identify a lot with that sentiment as well.

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.

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?
I'm in my early thirties looking to learn more about myself through dance, hand balance and friends/community.
How's your life?
Overall pretty good. I recently made some big changes that out me at a small transition period but excited for what's to come š.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Dancing, drinking tea, training handbalance, spending time with friends. My key has been Movement and genuine rest.
What is most important to you right now?
Self discovery. Thankfully thay journey intertwines with all my interest! So really just going deeper into.thw big three: loose leaf tea, hand balance, and dance.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I came across a book titled The Temple in the House about the intersection of architecture and spirituality. Not sure I agree with every idea they present but using architecture and home design as an extension of the soul as well as it's resting place has given me lots to ponder on. Have I built a home the reflects me and let's me rest in myself? What would a temple built to sanctify me include? Can that be in my home too?

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?
Iām in that exciting phase of life where Iām 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?
Lifeās in that wild sweet spot between chasing big goals and laughing at how unpredictable it all is. Itās a mix of clarity, chaos, and late-night thoughts about what really mattersāplus 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. Ohāand not taking life too seriously (except when deciding on pizza toppings).
What is most important to you right now?
Right now, itās 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.
