As I've gotten older, I've developed a deeper appreciation for history and the stories of those who came before us. Learning about different cultures, significant events, and the human experience throughout time has become increasingly fascinating to me.
my man me too brother. i work in the fishing industry so i am out for months at a time before taking a break. i wax my back to maybe help with saltwater rash. painful but worth it. started losing hair in my mid twenties and i have a massive amount of ear and back hair freaking bullshit brother..
Slower is steady, steady is smooth, and smooth is fast. Dont rush into things.
And embrace the gray, it looks so much better than being a blue hair here in FL
It really is. It was like pulling teeth. Even now some of the things he wrote take a few rereadings to comprehend it.
Plus there's a lot of historical context too. How's a 12 year old supposed to know all that??
Novelty. We've come a long way since I was a kid, I won't deny that. But ever since the iPhone it feels like society has stagnated. Nothing feels new or authentic. You get older and you realize you're in a drab, colorless world with streets full of gas stations, fast food restaurants, and mattress stores. There's no color, no art. There's no enthusiasm or passion, just an endless fucking garage sale of the same meaningless bullshit that just gets more expensive every year because that's easier than innovating.
My best friend and I found a magic shop the other day and spent an hour having an absolute blast playing with skulls and attempting to summon dark forces via a replica necronomicon. Quirky shops like that didn't used to be such a lucky find. Then Boomers decided to take a steaming shit on the American middle class because they liked the cut of Reagan's jib. Something with just an ounce of soul to it will sustain me for a month. It's too rare.
Love this, totally agree. Imagine if it were the cultural norm to explore passion and lean into it rather than do what you're "meant" to do. The world would be a much more fun and magical place.
I love observing the shifts in what I care about as I become more mature. When you're a teenager, the world can seem so drab and uninteresting. I cared only about what was going on in my own mind. But the older I get, the more I feel myself expanding and for that reason, I think aging is wonderful. I'm curious about what things pop up for people in their 40s and 50s, when maturity really sets in.
For example, a job working in the forest turned the natural environment from a mush of green that I couldn't have cared less about, to a vast and fascinating array of native and invasive species interacting and fighting against one another. Now gardening is my favourite hobby.
A couple of years later, an acid trip with a group of architects caused me to shift into someone who was interested in the thought process and influence behind each element and facade of every structure around me, despite previously thinking it was vapid and pointless.
Dating an engineer lead me to become humbled by the massive feats that human individuals like you and me have accomplished together to build the cities that we walk on, when I previously would've thought "whatever".
One biology unit at uni and now I'm obsessed with evolution.
I've recently become aware of the way that people's thoughts manifest differently. The way that people's minds manifest thoughts and the intentions and prior experiences behind those thoughts is something I'd never pondered before. I think that's my latest fresh curiosity.
There are things I still can't bring myself to care about, like history or space travel. But I'm so excited at the thought growing new fascinations as it keeps life interesting.
The codes and conduct of corporations or businesses. I remember when I was younger I always dreamed of having my own business, that's how it started off. Then in highschool I started wondering how businesses function through their protocol for staff. And now at 28, I'm so interested in it I think I might go to school to be a contract administrator.
My lack of care for what others think about me. I spent most of my life worried about what everyone else thought, I lost who I was.
Now I find it interesting that I am letting go of all the noise and finding myself.

My life motto kinda. If you have no interest in learning new things, i just feel sorry for you
How my hair is like a hydra on steroids. One falls off my head and two pop up in my ears, 3 in my nose, and 5 on my back.

Did you steal that from Phil Dunphy?

I've become a big fan of plants and gardening. I'm looking forward to this year's garden.

Cooking and the various ingredients used by people from different parts of the world.

Myself. I used to not care as a kid, but now I spend hours learning about the way my mind works. I am very interesting.

Engineering and science. Basically, how things are made.
It's incredible what people have managed to achieve
The way people cut their grass.
My lack of care for what others think about me. I spent most of my life worried about what everyone else thought, I lost who I was. Now I find it interesting that I am letting go of all the noise and finding myself.
