What are the things that you did when you were younger that you do not do now?

I was very active when I was younger. Played softball, water skied, snow skied, rode my bike everywhere, roller skated, bowled every week, hiked a lot, once I was 19 also danced at the clubs pretty much every night.

I think my 40s have almost entirely been about excavating all the things I loved to do as a kid, but this time loving all those things and refusing to feel insecure about them / hide them.

- dancing
- making art
- rpgs like dungeons & dragons
- Warhammer 40k
- writing poetry & stories

But I don't worry about being cool. I don't worry about whether or not someone is mad at me all the time - I wait for them to tell me; and I don't pretend to be someone I'm not.

As a kid I was a VERY picky eater; I suppose that is one thing I have fully abandoned. I'll try anything once, and live all kinds of foods.

Another thing I used to do as a kid was lie to avoid trouble / conflict - I'm all out of secrets now, and life is MUCH better this way.

Photography... I really miss that at times.

Having time alone to just get out of the house and enjoy nature. I'll probably never be doing that again now.

Going Christmas shopping around an actual store. There's something about being able to pick up and touch the things that you're considering buying.

During my college days, I used to jump down the stairs from second floor to the first floor and do a superhero landing.

Now I’d probably end up breaking my knee.
