I was just talking to my mom yesterday about being more malleable mentally and being able to critically think, especially in the world of tech.

I think I'm very lucky to have very different groups of friends that I've had since I was a child that I regularly keep in touch with, but making new friends is different nowadays for sure. Besides coworkers I feel like I haven't made new friends since college?
I'm actually doing some side project stuff that I'm hoping to open source soon actually! Besides that and donating those are the biggest things I've been trying to contribute to, but I'm definitely sure I can do more.
Haha "what have you always wanted to do" is my theme for this year, it's hard to think about to be honest but I've definitely been thinking about that a lot more recently.

Yes for sure! My focus on health definitely involves mental and physical as well, luckily I have some PT friends and friends in the medical field and a lot of friends that are basically addicted to the gym, so I'm pretty well equipped to take physical health into my 30s!
Hmmm that's true, I think the energy thing is a big thing for me. I'm not 100% sure about having kids yet, my dating profile still says "Open to Kids" haha so I feel like I'll get there when I get there.

Skincare is a good callout, I've been prioritizing it recently as an addition to all my tattoo care that I have to do!
For exercise, I've been doing a lot of gym and lifting so it definitely has been helping. I also drink a lot less alcohol than other people in general and in my health arc I've been taking in more protein, and weight wise I've been trying to go down more! I used to do wrestling so I knew all the weight cutting unhealthily techniques and this last year I've been focusing on keeping it down (the holidays definitely haven't been helping)

A preface, I'm a cisgender male so I don't really have a "biological clock" so to speak but I'm curious on what people have regretted not getting to, or regret not starting at an earlier age.
A couple of things to kick off discussion, I started saving for retirement early, and assuming that there's still some normalcy in the next 4 years (which... Is not looking great) is on of the things I really feel great about.
I also prioritized my health last year, and in 2023-2024 probably lost around 30 pounds which I consider an investment for my future as well.

I remember reading a couple of months ago Hannah Simone from New Girl mentioning that the only reason there was a Prince episode was because he had a crush on her. Which... kinda feels weird? Like she made it clear she didn't like him that way but then he shows up to her workplace? Idk the articles I see make it seem like cute and quirky but it's definitely kinda icky in a way.
