Where are you at in your life stage?
I'm 24 and navigating through the difficulties of my early 20's. I sort of feel like I'm going through a process of rediscovery of how I fit into this world as a young working person. Truthfully, I think I'm right where I'm supposed to be. But that doesn't make this period of my life any easier or less uncertain. I find myself craving more connection and authenticity with others during a time that can feel very isolating.
How's your life?
I would say in a lot of ways my life has turned out really lovely. On paper, I got everything I wanted. I got my dream job as a labor and delivery nurse right out of college, I'm celebrating my 8 year anniversary with my boyfriend this May, I live close to a loving family, and I'm living on my own and learning how to be an adult. But beneath all that, I am struggling in many ways. My job is stressful on many levels and I struggle with work-life balance. My partner and I are dealing with serious doubts and uncertainties about out future together. I feel isolated and want more friendships. I'm scared I'm wasting my 20s because I'm such a homebody. In so many ways, I am incredibly grateful and privileged with how my life turned out and I am happy. But life is hard and I think I need to be better at creating more meaningful connections with others so it feels less like I'm going through it alone.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I'm a hobbies girl! I strongly believe that everyone should have at least one hobby. For me, crafting and art are my bread and butter. I love fiber arts: crocheting and knitting. Something about keeping my hands busy really numbs my brain in all the right ways. Creativity is a huge outlet for me. Drawing, painting, collages, you name it. I also love reading. Fantasy romance is my favorite genre.
What is most important to you right now?
I think what's most important to me right now is security. I just feel like there's a lot of uncertainties about my future which I think is normal and good in some ways. But I do find myself deeply craving a sense of security in myself, my work, and my relationship(s). I think I am the most content when I feel secure and I don't have a lot of question marks about my near future. I'm a big planner and I like it when it feels like those plans are going to pan out without worrying about the rug being pulled out from underneath me.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Something interesting I've been thinking about lately is the ability to learn empathy through reading and works of fiction. I recently read a fantasy series about a young black girl who loses her mom and subsequently gains magical powers (lol). But the books explores complex topics related to grief and racism. I found it so amazing how I was essentially able to put myself in her shoes and experience these things with her. I was able to feel her complex emotions about losing her mom, feeling out of place in a predominantly white school, and a sense of grief about not having access to her family tree/linage due to slavery. These are things I can never fully understand since I have not experienced it myself but after reading this book I have a much deeper sense of empathy and understanding on these topics. I find it really profound how one can learn empathy through art and fiction and I think it's an underrated way to incorporate activism in everyday life.

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 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 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?
I am enjoying my late forties and am finally comfortable in my skin. Most of my adult life was invested in my career, but I want to shift my focus to meaningful connections and community.
How's your life?
Great! I was part of the tech layoffs you've probably read about, and honestly, it was a blessing. I hated that job. I'm using this year to upskill and shift into something new.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I like taking my doggo for walks and working out. I also love to cook and meal prep, so I spend time researching recipes and tinkering.
What is most important to you right now?
Finding community. I'm an introvert, so making friends is doubly hard. I feel energized to put myself out there and to see what I'm missing.
Anything you recently found interesting?
Dogs aren't den animals, as it turns out, which raises questions about the validity of crate training. If your dog likes his crate, awesome! But if he doesn't, it's not because he lacks an instinct.

Currently funemployed! Took some time to travel, now just building up my life in San Diego and trying to find my favorite spots. Also trying to learn how to swim...but it is harder than I expect every single time.
How's your life?
Saying yes to interesting and scary opportunities has been exciting and fruitful and I'm always interested in improving at things I'm bad at. Nevertheless, life is relentless and every day I am exhausted :)))
What helps you keep your sanity?
Climbing, bachata, and Peep Show
What is most important to you right now?
Establishing a solid friend group in SD and exploring home

I find the concept of dropshipping really fascinating (don't worry I'm not going to do it)

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.
