What are you starting to love more as you get older?

Fellow Grapeviners, can you please knock some sense into me? For context, I've got a good-ish job that I think pays me easy money. i started working 5 months ago. lately, I'm feeling worthless and really thinking about quitting my job and do something impactful or crazy or financially irresponsible. Help

Age is a very controversial topic (which I find surprising, though I kinda understand why). Many people crib about growing up, and often remain too deep in the nostalgia of their youth - forever wishing to go back. Personally, I like growing older. I can see myself having improved significantly from how naïve I used to be. I’m not looking forward to creaky bones, degrading brain capacity and the eventual downfall of human civilisation (just speculating). But I feel that aging - and eventually dying - is what gives any sense of progression and conclusion to life. Would appreciate perspectives from others on Grapevine. What do you guys think? :) (Also, sorry if I ruined your day by randomly reminding you that you’re ageing. 🥲)

I have been a little caught up with numerous things in my life lately and have finally found some free time to open up myself to new experiences. I had a wishlist of shows and movies that I wanted to watch but as soon as I start watching them, I get bored and feel like turning it off. No, its not the content No, its not the genre No, its not the actors No, its not the taste either This is pretty ironic as considering the fact that I have spent a fair share of my youth chasing academics and career, my heart had always craved for life experiences. I had to let go of the woman I loved simply because I was too focussed on my JEE. I wont be able to forgive myself for that EVER. It almost felt like I had lost a limb, without which , I would be rendered disfunctional. Thats a separate story tho. Nothing excites me (yep nothing) Nothing amuses me Nothing feels lively I have no clue where my life is headed I understand that as we age, our triggers of happiness change. I have put concious efforts into knowing what those new triggers are. But I cant find any plausible sources of happiness. I am performing pretty well with my career. Even got a double digit hike. But didnt feel that kick of joy. Have I approached a dead end?

Title says it all. Most women I encounter these days like to get blackout drunk for some reason. Have had to escort quite a few to their homes occasionally too. Can't figure out why though, rarely seeing responsible drinkers in my circle and on dating apps. They're either completely teetotallers or heavy drinkers. Rarely in the middle. Anybody else seeing this too?

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

Seeking advice from married individuals who have/ want children I’m 26 right now. Should I start looking for partners now or wait till around 30 once I’m financially stronger. Currently 22lpa - Mumbai
