I’m coming into my 30s now sort of going the opposite direction you are. From my perspective I’m realizing that I missed out on creative expression until now because I subconsciously realized it wasn’t a “practical option” that I couldn’t afford, so I’m waking up to the fact that I’ve lived my life up to this point as a STEM bro type missing out on a huge spectrum of experiences, and it makes me feel robbed.
I want to live in a fucking treehouse for a month, with a rope ladder, and a Zipline.
Just having the freedom for literally anything. I have a stable, boring job that sucks, but it keeps a roof over my head (barely) while also leaving little time for anything else. I’m nearing 40 now and I definitely wish I’d gone back in my 20s and taken a lot more risk before I had responsibilities. Even then, I don’t want to be a wandering hippy, but a 30 hr work week with 3 weeks mandatory vacation? Sign me the fuck up.
