Please have hobbies in your 30s, so you don’t become overly focused on relationships, other people’s availability, or what’s missing in your life.

Not only were kids reading 700 and 800-page Harry Potter books in a single day, they were writing, without AI, fan-fiction that frequently surpassed the length of those books. The fact that people can no longer believe this happened only shows how steep our decline has been.
It’s so attractive when people apologise for responding late. or when they keep you in the loop so you don’t start overthinking. the skill of communication is very attractive. basic consideration these days, it stands out cause so many people just disappear and leave you guessing
