discussion What are things you've started liking MORE as you get older?

[Sombre]

Inspired by this thread: 

 

I was doing the dishes a few nights ago, cleaning the whole kitchen counters, and returning things back to the fridge or cupboards, and I realized I actually like doing this stuff now. There's something really relaxing knowing that I have personally cleaned those dishes up to my standards and I can make sure they're 100% clean the next time I use them. In my late teens, I was the opposite. You'd enter my dorm and you'd see stacks of dirty dishes in the sink.  

 

What about you?

cigars, whiskey, and the leather subculture

[Subzero]

Making things myself (furniture, shelves, etc.) and tools

 

I legit want my own tool shed/workshop now and want to build all the things 

 

Doesn't help that I love to organize things because I look at any empty corner or space and start planning what would look good there and can be displayed on it and wanting to immediately make it

No more studying for exams/school. 

I would say I’m still a very intellectually curious person and always pursue a myriad of topics and interests through deep study, but with there being no pressure of sitting exams for a qualification which in the long term will have little benefit to my life or career feels so much more freeing and happier. ?

 

Oh, radio and streaming platforms too! Being able to discover new sounds, images, themes and topics, than what the MSM push. There’s always something for someone.

Rock music. 

[Alldeezy]

Rnb & Rap (like allday, Mac miller etc.)

 

Been obsessed with allday for a year and because he takes so much inspiration from Mac miller I went back gave him a listen too and really enjoyed it

 

Plus my girl rappers like doja, nicki, saweetie. 

 

I used to know like pop and metalcore but I seem to enjoy most music the more I get older.
