It seems the thrill of certain experiences that once excited us in our teens and early adulthood loses its shine as the years go by. Why bother with late nights when one can cozy up with a good show on Netflix and some pizza at home? I guess that's how adulthood is for most of us and we are so not regretting it. Here is a list of things that will make you feel less guilty about shunning loud music at restaurants or just finding parties too overrated.

We understand you.
People. Honestly, they're everywhere.
Peace over anything and everything
Noise. Anyone or anything that is too loud.

Keanu Reeves supremacy
B******t arguing with other people.
It makes me think of Keanu Reeves. He gave an. Interview about growing older, and said he protects his peace by refusing to argue with anyone about anything. He said “2+2 is 5? You are correct. Have a nice day.”
Nah too old for that.
Anything starting past 9PM.

It's never too late.
Putting up BS. I'm 64 and will retire in 8 months and also just filed for a divorce and hopefully that will be done before retirement. I'm done with it all. I have looked into buying a coop condo in a 55+ community and should have one secured within a couple of months. My employer seems to think they can call me for advice when I retire, no they can't because they have been very toxic and I'm almost done playing that game. My husband thinks he can treat me like c**p and not acknowledge anything important to me, I'm done with his toxic behavior. He's still in shock that I have the guts to do it but when I made a list in writing and he wanted to continue to be married I showed him a list I made of why I needed to leave and why I should stay and the should stay list was completely blank. He couldn't even argue because it was all true on reasons I should leave.
I am not too old to start a new chapter in my life and enjoy what time I have left.
Edit: Thank you all for the encouragement. We both meet with the attorney today and divorce will be final in 60 to 90 days. This decision has taken 15 years to put in place but someone did tell me about 10 years ago when the time is right I will move forward, the time is right at this phase of my life.

Food's supposed to be enjoyed
Eating food that’s not delicious.
And I don’t mean eating unhealthily.
I mean, If I’m going to consume calories, it’s going to be delicious. Sometimes that means heating things up in the oven instead of microwave, or adding an extra ingredient that makes the dish.

It's your life anyway
Convincing people not to do dumb s**t.
Go ahead I don’t care anymore. Learn the hard way.
advertisement
We getting there
Caring for people who don't care about me.
advertisement
We got one life, people
Not being comfortable. I'm done with that.
Give me a pilow and some legroom.
A bench in the shower and a fluffy towel. Give me space to breath and live. Give me quality over quantity and I gladly pay extra for an upgrade.

It's basic necessity
Going places without a bathroom nearby. Not necessarily "too old," more like "too IBS."
advertisement
Never miss your beauty sleep
Lack of sleep. All nighters were once manageable. Now I pull an all nighter and I am useless.

We repeat. Grow up and own your shortcomings.
BS excuses. Stop trying to make up elaborate, unbelievable stories. Just tell me you forgot, or you overslept, or whatever. It's fine. I get it. But don't expect me to believe your convoluted, half-a*s ramblings. Grow up and own your shortcomings.
It's the best feeling
Sitting on the floor.

Too much work
Leaving the house.
So not worth it
Hangovers, 3 days to go back to normal is too much now and not worth it.
advertisement
We want happy endings
I am tired of anime and superhero movies with teenage protagonists. I’m not saying the stories aren’t good, but I am f*****g tired of coming of age stories.
Maybe yes. Maybe no
Skinny jeans.
advertisement
Big Yes!
Work.
Organised concerts would be so much more fun.
Concerts without assigned seating.
I'm not showing up hours early to get a good spot and then be *stuck* there the entire time without being able to sit or use the bathroom or else I lose my view.

That's a big win for you
Smoking cigarettes. I quit 5 days ago after 15 years. just woke up and went "you know what, nah."
Very hard but we're getting there
Anxiety. I need to get over this s**t already.
advertisement
Someone finally said it
All the work necessary to maintain a house, especially the outside.
It's not worth it anymore.
Partying.
advertisement
It's a waste of life.
Internet bickering
Over that phase
New slang.
advertisement
Other's drama*
Drama.
We're proud of you
Caring. Growing up I was a people pleaser due to the abuse my bio mom did to me. Now being older, I’ve come to realize that I give less and less effs about if I make someone like me or not.

Like we said, so not worth it
Booze, hangovers are almost always near extinction events these days.
