No doubt, you will always be fascinated to see animals. One poster writes, “I’ve been working with animals for about 4 years, and I still get excited when I see a dog being walked on the sidewalk or when I’m driving, and they stick their head out of the window.”

Another says, “Whenever I see a dog, my mood just gets 30% better, no matter how bad it was before.”

Naps

Nobody gets too old for naps. “I find a 30-minute nap more than makes my productivity for the rest of the day. I am clearer,” states a poster.

However, some people hate naps because it leaves them “disoriented about the time and day,” dizzy, with a headache or feeling dehydrated, and “makes it harder to fall asleep later in the evening.”

Video Games

Isn’t it fun “running really fast with the shopping car on your way back to your car and riding the bottom part like it’s a scooter,” regardless of your age? “IKEA flat carts are the absolute best for this,” shares a poster, “You can run then sit on them and pray not to crash.”

Coloring

“Having a toddler has made me realize coloring things is awesome,” confesses a parent, with more adults feeling the same. “I was buying them (coloring books) last year after a head injury made it painful to think. Coloring made my brain feel better,” shares another user.

Go Karts

If reading this makes you smile, stop judging yourself for enjoying the smooth slides across the kitchen floor while in socks. And it always gets better when the socks are new or are sliding on wooden floors.

Sadly, “you can get too old for this when you realize a possible fall could crack a hip.”

Legos

Legos are not just for kids. Many adults turn to Legos for fun and to destress. A parent shares, “My daughter recently got into Legos, and I’d forgotten how therapeutic it is to play with them.”

Growing up, people thought cartoons were childish. However, you’ll find that cartoons and animated movies can still entertain you as an adult.

A 38-year-old poster says, “I used to love cartoons as a kid and still love cartoons. What has changed is that I’ve learned to appreciate the work that goes into making a great cartoon.”
