Seeing how my birthday is tomorrow the 18th it just got me thinking that I enjoy playing a lot of pc games that are really old right about now - like Gothic series (first one was out in 2001, I was 13-14 years old at the time), or Caesar III (a Roman economic and a bit historical pc game from 1998 ( was 12 years old) and the list could and would of course go on but that is not this topic's point.
The idea that came to me is that as we get older we ENJOY things we used to do when we were younger, and by this I am not referring to all the things we used to do, but to the nice, relaxing ones, that were a real pleasure for us (another example just came to me, I am re watching the Stargate series for the 6th time I think).
So in my case I enjoy playing older games, watching older tv series, listening to older music (some much older then me but that's beside the point) so my question to you, apart from what you feel about what I mentioned above, is what do you enjoy to do, from your younger years ?

oh it is my father's birthday tomorrow. hmm happy birthday to you in advance and may all your dreams come true. I also like to stay young in my mind and habits. I do play games too. video games and watch tv and I mostly keep my thought young. I am in my 20s and wish to be like this forever which is not possible but keeping my mind and thoughts younger will make me younger that way.lol Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Our hobbies do change as we grew older it follows the way our mind gets matured with outlook in life.
I still watch cartoons movies, animated movies -not to keep me young but I really like those movies rather than fiction and nonsense violent movies.
