For me it’s moving your bed away from the side walls so it’s in the middle of the room. I had my bed to the side my whole childhood

    I was in my late 20s and two of my uncle was having a heated argument over politics. Everyone else was quiet, afraid to say anything. I spoke out in a normal tone, not raising my voice, “that’s enough”. They stopped immediately. It was fairly surreal.

    Having the opportunity to buy cake whenever you want, having enough money to buy cake whenever you want, and choosing to not buy cake whenever you want.

    I got towels, cast iron pans, and a new knife for Christmas and couldn’t have been happier.

    I’m still a bed by the wall person though. when me and my partner get a house that will probably change, but for now I like having a corner to sit up against.

    Your body starts betraying you.

    More specific to becoming a middle aged man, I started finding any sport enjoyable regardless of what it was. Additionally I started listening to history podcasts. Not sure these are gendered activities but there is definitely a stereotype that men start getting more involved in sport and history.

    When throwing away a perfectly good box is a well thought out decision after the box has been in a staging area for some time while you think about it.

      Most of my boxes are cat scratchers. Some of them are to paint on. A couple are in a closet in case I have to return the expensive thing that it housed.

    Being around kids and being seen just like I remember seeing adults when I was little. Assumed authority and decision making power and the answer to every problem or wish.

    I’m choosing a light fixture right now and I’m trying to decide which one looks best with all the natural fibers I plan to place in the same room, and the fact that I’m choosing to spend real hours on this self-created homework when I could instead be playing video games should tell you all you need to know.
