But excitement and novelty? Every day. You get more discerning in what you do, but there's plenty of interesting stuff. And yes, people are more interesting than tech - they're slightly less predictable.
You might want to question why you litter your living room with it if it doesn't feel interesting, though.
FWIW, for me the 40s were about defining who I really am. It's taken a lot of work, but it's given me so much freedom. I know who I am. I don't need to prove myself anymore. I don't need to do things because other people tell me I'll like them. I can make decisions knowing they rest within my values, not pushed by external sources.
It sounds like you're starting to look at that question, too. I'd recommend doing it with professional guidance (therapist/life coach/priest/whathaveyou), it's easier that way.
- taurath 9y agoI’m in my early 30s and watching how my friends are “progressing” on the novelty curve is interesting, especially as it comes to tech and pastimes. We were all big gamers for a long while, and while I’m much more interested in people they still churn through the games. I kind of wonder if there is a natural point of when it all starts to feel the same, or whether it’s really possible to get be that sense of novelty forever. I guess people can be film buffs all their lives!
- emodendroket 8y agoI'm soon turning 30. I still like games but I can't do the treadmill of new releases anymore; the games I have interest in playing are much fewer and focused in fewer genres. Increasingly I gravitate toward skill-based arcade-style games and competitive games and away from anything with a story and console-style progression.
