You’re so right it’s hilarious to me. I’m currently going through this phase now. Relearning the same lessons that have been relearnt and forgotten ten thousand times before me.

Sitting outside watching bees go about their day is a good use of your time in your 30’s.

I don't think they are forgotten, you just changed. If I think back to being a child, going to a restaurant and just sit there and talk was incredibly boring. Also, Broccoli simply tasted like shampoo.

Even when people told me I would enjoy it at some point, I just could not imagine this at all. It's just a completely different mindset and it sounds absurd when people tell you that you will change that drastically.


You would probably enjoy The Secret Life of Trees. It kicked my nature walks into twelfth gear. As did Google Lens for identifying stuff.


getting real Good Will Hunting vibes off this thread. "You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library."
