You sound lots like me. I do take heed to music and have loved going to live shows, however I don’t do podcasts or audiobooks as a result of talky audio simply goes in a single ear and out the opposite with out leaving an impression. Music engages a bigger a part of the mind.
In my late teenagers and 20s I loved clubbing (consuming age 18 right here) however once I hit 30 it was all BTDT and I mainly turned center aged in a single day, in the event you outline center age as a mind-set the place you prioritize consolation over a way of journey.
I beloved journey, particularly immersing myself in one other tradition once I was younger, and I used to be fortunate sufficient to do it thrice, a yr within the UK once I was 12, six months as an trade pupil in France and one other six months in Spain as an intern once I was at school. I generally remorse dropping fluency in French and Spanish.
I like my associates and revel in seeing them about as soon as each two months, my bestie possibly as soon as a month. The times of seeing my associates every day or a minimum of weekly are lengthy gone.
I like my present job and have been working for a similar employer for 17 years. I hope I can keep there for the subsequent 15 or so years till I retire. There have been sufficient inside adjustments and alternatives for improvement that I don’t see any want to alter jobs. I’d want to enter individuals administration to get a promotion and I’m not occupied with that.
I work to stay, and as a lot as I take pleasure in my job, it’s only a job, not my life.
I’m fortunately married with a 15 yr outdated and a fantastic prolonged household with minimal drama, and I prefer it that approach.
I like studying my favourite books time and again.
I principally put on the identical sort of garments (patterned high with lengthy sleeves, denims, comfy footwear) and I’m under no circumstances occupied with vogue.
I’m not on any social media besides Whatsapp, and even there I primarily discuss to individuals in my contacts (aside from an expert networking group and the dad and mom’ teams for my son’s class and extracurriculars).
I deeply resent the thought of steady enchancment. I cope with it at work as a result of it’s unavoidable, however I completely refuse to do it in my private life.
My favourite option to spend the weekend is to sit down on the sofa for many of the day, with a stroll if the climate’s good, or a motorbike trip in the summertime. Time to hang around with my household, or my telephone, and watching TV or studying a guide when the required chores are achieved.
