After work functions. I’m a homebody, and I like being with my family more than my colleagues. Having kids means I can get away with saying I’ve got something on with them and no one thinks I’m being rude.
Books that I’m not enjoying. I used to force myself to read at least half of a book before deciding it’s not for me, but who has time to waste on something they’re actively disliking?!
Being “chill” about things that truly bothers me. I speak up for myself now more than I did when I was younger. Also, SALADS. 🥗 I’m so done with them. I hate them. 😂
talking shit about people. i used to nod along but now i shut it down. it’s not that there isn’t shit to be talked, i’m just not interested in doing it. we all generally pick up on the vibes of a person or couple – we don’t really need to discuss in hushed tones.
Probably realised this more around 35, but I stopped pretending to enjoy spending time with people I don’t click with 🥲 a lot of my husband’s friends are nice people but they’re not MY people, I feel drained hanging out with them. So I’ll still go every now and then, but I stopped feeling obligated to go for every single event

Staying out late. I love being home at a reasonable hour.

Attending bigger group events, aside from rare occasions. I’ve learned to say no more often. If I’m not feeling it, I’m not feeling it.
Cocaine
Small talk about the weather and other useless crap with the inlaws.
Also, shopping for clothing. Post children, it’s more of a pain in the ass than an enjoyable experience.
At 40, sex and weed. I actually like life a lot more without the hassle of obtaining either.
