6 Things You Are Never Too Old For
Being a grown-up doesn't necessarily mean having a boring life. Age is just a number. You can stay young at heart by doing things that make you happy, even though other people don't find these things age-appropriate. Here are six things you are never too old for, no matter what others say.
Amusement parks. Theme parks are not just for kids. You have every right to enjoy rides and attractions at any age. Besides, there are a lot of theme parks in which rides, attractions and activities are more suited for adults. So let yourself indulge in simple pleasures such as eating cotton candy or hugging Mickey Mouse and don't feel ashamed about wanting to spend your weekend in a theme park.
Learning or trying something new. Remember that it's never too late to take up a new hobby, start exercising, learn a new skill or a foreign language. They say that young people learn faster because they have better memory. Although this might be true, older people have more experience in learning and have developed learning strategies, so the learning process will be much easier, but just as exciting.
Dating and falling in love. You don't have to be young and childless to be find a loving partner. It is possible to find love at any age, so don't give up. As we get older, we become more realistic about relationships and stop looking for perfection, we realize that relationships need work and learn from our mistakes, so it might actually be easier to find someone who is good for us.
Eating stuff you like. A lot of people start appreciating healthy food only when they grow up, and not because they actually like it, but because it's what grown up people are supposed to do. We are not saying that healthy food is bad. Your health is important. But you shouldn't feel guilty about indulding your self with your favorite comfort food every now and then, be it ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, or boxed mac and cheese.
Popping bubble wrap. Although popping bubble wrap is typically considered a “childish” activity, a lot of adults enjoy doing it. There is something strangely satisfying in the act. If popping bubble wrap helps you relive stress, go for it!
Kids' movies and kids' books. There is nothing wrong with adults watching kids' movies, such as Disney cartoons, the Harry Potter film series or Home Alone. The same goes for reading children's books. A truly good kids' book and movie will always be worth reading or watching as an adult because it has depth. Rediscovering books and movies you liked as a kid can be very exciting.
