What is something you used to care about that you don't anymore?

In my case romance and stuff like that, I am focused on personal projects now and feel way better than with those expectations I had before

Yeah, romance is like "whatever".

For other things, there used to be a lot that seemed important but today I cannot even remember why it seemed to matter so much. Mostly hobbies but also feeling bad that I wasn't doing as well as people I knew.

@HoeBag I know what you mean.

@JimboSaturn Yeah we get older and see things for what they really are.
So many people who seemed to have it all, it eventually falls part.

@HoeBag same I used to compare myself Ruth others as well

@Lovebird Yeah in my 20's it seemed like everyone else had these perfect lives, well traveled, nice houses etc. But at this point, a lot of that crumbled for them.

I think also because young people of any generation are fed this idea that we should all be rich and retired (or close to it) by age 30. NOT realistic.
