    This meme might be ironic, but, no joke, this is both fucking adorable and also kinda the point of life.

    The little things that you like, that make your every day brighter. Just go and get them.

        As a homebody I’m curious, how did you meet your fiancee?

      Small pleasures like this are what I Iive for.

      (Although I’m not a fan of the green tea that my Costco carries, so I don’t buy my tea there.)

        You better be a fan of Earl Grey, or I’m telling Miles.

        Personally, I actually went and bought a coffee maker that I actually use for tea, and due to the settings on it, it’s the perfect brew every time.

        Whenever I want, just toss some loose tea into the top, hit the right size button for my cup and enjoy my favorite plants.

        Frankly, asides from supporting local business, there isn’t much reason not to get tea from online specialty purveyors these days. It’s not terribly expensive to ship the stuff.

    Your fifties is where you have already bought everything cool at Costco and start regularly checking your toilet for signs of needing to be changed.

    • Frozengyro@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      As a 30 YO with a perfectly functional toilet, but the bowl awkwardly is 1/2" larger than the seat… This hits too close to home.

      I need to clean it constantly or have urine splatter on my legs when it’s time for a #2.

    I’m 39, and this but entirely unironically. Think about your teens and twenties, and all the incredible shit that was happening. The parties, the music, the friends and new experiences that you look back on now wistfully. The world felt so big and new. But then take a second to think about how you actually felt. You were really unhappy a lot of the time, weren’t you? I certainly was. I spent what were supposed to be the “best” years of my life pissy, moody, convinced that the whole world was full of things that I was missing out on and obsessed with finding “authenticity” in myself and, and this is the shitty part, disproving authenticity in others.

    Now I’m nearly but not entirely sober, I have a steady group of friends and an incredible partner, and I spend my life mostly doing whatever I want to whenever I want. It’s just that what I want has changed. I’m thrilled on an average Sunday to wake up, put on an audiobook and immediately start cooking dinner. I like mowing my lawn and tending to my garden in the evenings. Going to the grocery store with my partner is just the best, we pal around and make each other laugh and get hype about little specials. Who I am has changed, what I want has changed, and I’m realizing that it was never anything external to me. I’ve just become the kind of person who is capable of being happy. My world has gotten smaller, more familiar and so much brighter.

      I’m almost 30. I never partied. I still don’t have friends to look forward too. I was unhappy then. I am still unhappy a lot of times now, but there are a lot of happier times. My life will continue to be pathetic tho, but I’ll just continue to age. Not all of us have the best years of our life as we’re older.

  • oxomoxo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Honestly my forties have been some of the best, most adventurous years of my life. I truly appreciate the important things in life, and I have the means to do things I couldn’t when I was younger.

    • filtoid@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m in my forties and I think every milestone decade has been better than the last. I also wholeheartedly agree with the above statements. I hope you continue to do the things that make you happy and carry on your enjoyment of them :)

        It happens, funny thing is, you should have enough experience and be young enough for it to be pretty easy to get a new job and probably a better one. Sometimes these things end up being blessings in disguise…

    • NoneYa@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Their jeans are phenomenal and cheap in price too. Think it was $15 for a pair and they fit well and feel great and last well. I bought some Levi’s from there for a higher price and I don’t like them as much as I like the Kirkland brand. Too stiff and too tight and more expensive.

    We are obsessed with quantity, but I never hear a good review beyond 50.

    I’ve seen some cool shit and tolerated more than my share of strife. First chronic health problem, I’m out.

    It’s selfish of the people in your life to expect you to suffer for them.

      Considering my retirement is essentially whenever I decide to buy a gun I agree with this.

      I’ve been forced to be alive this whole time for my family, but once I hit a medical “wall” I’m out and I just hope whoever is left can understand I can only suffer for so many decades lol

      I feel more or less the same, and agree that we should respect people’s end-of-life wishes.

      But FWIW pain management has come a long way. When your doctor first brings you bad news, don’t make assumptions, ask lots of questions and get the details.

    • braxy29@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      i mean, i hear you on choosing your end, but i have known some folks who enjoyed later life. my mom died suddenly a couple years ago, and she confessed to me over the last couple years that she was ready to go when her time came. that said, i think she was happier in her early 70’s than i had ever known her to be otherwise. and my family certainly doesn’t have money to smooth the way.

      i think she just decided to make the most of it, made an effort to enjoy her community and stayed super active. i’m hoping i will handle aging as well as she did.

    Green tea is best freshly brewed, it probably is the same cost between that case and some good quality loose leaf. Cute sentiment though :)

    source
    • The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I should really do loose leaf more. It’s just so easy to pop in a tea bag.

      source
      • Daxtron2@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Highly recommend getting a cup that has a infuser made specifically for it. Makes it almost as easy as a teabag but 100x the quality. I just got a new tin of super good earl grey and it is astounding how much better it is than bagged tea.

    I’ve lost track of the number of times I’m “just going to nip and speak to the customer service lot about renewing my membership” just to get a hotdog and coke, and a pizza to take home.

    It feels like I’ve “saved” £30 each time.
