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’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 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.

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.

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 :)))

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)

Where are you at in your life stage?
Rediscovery. Sliding into my mid-late thirties and feeling like I'm hitting my stride. I'm focusing more on who I am as a person and how to make that the best version. I've coasted on my twenties energy and now I'm in my chrysalis with my wings showing and ready to break out into a life of stability.
How's your life?
My life is a mix of working super hard offshore as an oceanographer in renewable energy, which allows me to travel and explore the world. When I'm home, you can find me walking to the surf break or on the trail with my german shepherd. I'm blessed to have the life I have now, but can appreciate the struggle it took to get here and the struggle that everyone else is going through.
What helps you keep your sanity?
Passion. Whether it be whatever project I'm working on. Surfing. Workout. Reading. The next adventure. Therapy. My pup.
What is most important to you right now?
I've been in SD for a little less than 2 years, but have been pretty wrapped up in work and am now trying to build community. Working on myself and adding stability to my life with grounded people with their heads in the cloud.
Anything you recently found interesting?
I've recently found challenging myself and my views interesting and exciting. Whether it be through getting back to being more of a yes person or pushing my boundaries in terms of being present and a whole person, instead of just cruising through life.

Where are you at in your life stage?
I’m settling down. I’ve moved around a lot in the last 10 years. Moving back to San Diego last year just felt right. By settling down, I mean I’m planting roots here in SD and don’t plan on moving away anytime soon. I’m single and just enjoying my life right now
How's your life?
It’s great! I’m generally happy and the healthiest I’ve ever been. My work challenges me enough to where it is still satisfying and I am able to make time to do the things that I love. I have a few close friends here in SD but realize that new connections wouldn’t be a bad thing.
What helps you keep your sanity?
I have a routine that helps keep my mood in check. It involves work, some form of physical activity (tennis, pickleball, volleyball) 5-6x a week, meal prep 1x a week, and small goals to check off along the way personally and professionally. Also my dog, he’s the one that told me to get a life.
What is most important to you right now?
Right now I’m prioritizing my health. Ive ditched the late night, party, going out scene for a more physically active, endorphin-inducing lifestyle. I have close friends out of town that I hang out with occasionally, but being back in San Diego has opened up doors for me to explore new hobbies and maybe new connections as well.
Anything you recently found interesting?
San Diego sure does rain a lot more than I remember…

The rain the last two years have been unusual! The timing of the rain this year so far, to coincidentally fall on the weekends, has been really odd as well. It’s a soothing change, but definitely makes me so appreciative of beautiful and sunny days.
