I blinked and here I am, mid/late thirties!

It’s a bit less social than I’d like. I moved here for grad school 3 years ago and have a couple really great friends but I definitely feel a bit lonely.

Diving at the aquarium and fostering animals from the humane society.

Being less consumed by work and more consumed by friendships.

The oldest ski artifact dates back to 6,000 BC.

Content professionally, and personally. Finding new ways to connect with myself, nature, and have joy in the littlest things (eg., people watching, dancing around my house, quiet in the morning).

Life is fulfilling and meaningful; fortunate to have created a space that gives me full autonomy of my days, time, and only interact and give energy to people I choose to.

Exercising in the morning, coffee while watching the birds, feeling the sunshine and fresh air strolling through Balboa Park or a nearby beach. Cannabis, music, friends, good food, easy conversations.

Staying on track with my personal goals to continue being healthy physically and mentally. Being kind to myself and others.

Cults; how susceptible people can be to group think and go along with things outside of their values.

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.

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.

The gym, family, having a job that I enjoy, walks, plants, fostering dogs, surfing, snorkeling La Jolla, swimming to the sea caverns.

Mental and physical health. Being present, going to the beach. Enjoying my life.

3 Body Problem, thinking about the concepts and science in the show, and the Dark Forest hypothesis.

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.

I go to the gym for my sanity a lot, but I do also enjoy reading and playing video games.

I would say the most important things to me right now are definitely my cats.

I haven't found much interesting that I can think of.

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

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.

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.

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.

San Diego sure does rain a lot more than I remember…

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.

Not too dramatic. Very average. Work is hectic, trying to fill the days with fun things to do outside of that.

My pets who provide structure in my daily life and provide many funny situations, music and routines.

Enjoyment. Simply finding enjoyment in day to day life.

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.

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.

Doing creative projects, listening to music, walking outside.

Connecting with others!

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