But when I became a man, I spent hundreds of dollars on eBay to try to relive childish things
Hmmmm, that sound’s good, I’ll have that.
OP here.
I’m a bachelor with a lucrative career, which has resulted in a good amount of free time and funny money. I treat my nostalgia collections like an archive and get a great deal of enjoyment from tending to them. I also have a handful of other hobbies that are intermingled or separate.
The only typical milestone I feel like I skipped was homeownership, because I lived like a vagabond a good deal of my adult life.
Right now the only thing I genuinely feel is missing that would increase my happiness, is an exercise routine.
I’m not a spring chicken anymore, let’s just put it that way.
I’ve never wanted children. I also realized a handful of years ago, that I’m happier and healthier when I’m not in long-term romantic relationships. I’ve got friends, immediate family in neighboring cities, and two cats. That’s more than enough company for me.
I don’t know, I’m not sure I wanna be biking around town with something in my ass.
No joke, I have 2 Virtual Boys.
