I'm 46. No elder yet but I've done some stuff that formed me in a good way.

Do shitty jobs for a while. And I say that with the most respect because I've done them all.

  • call center
  • cashier at a supermarket
  • customer service
  • waiter
  • ...

It'll teach you to appreciate good jobs later in life.

Travel abroad and interact with people. Profound experiences will follow. You'll open up to other cultures and opinions.

Travel on foot or by bike and camp. You'll view our planet and nature in a different way.

Build routines. Everyday routines are obvious but try to embrace some more periodical routines like gathering with some friends around the solstices. I invite people around winter solstice every year without them knowing the occasion. Nothing big, just some simple food and drinks. No party, just getting together. Campfire at night is tradition. I try to invite new people to the group every year and nobody is obliged to come. Life can be busy as you get older.

Value experiences over possession but don't throw away your money. Life altering experiences don't have to cost much. You can travel nearby or on the cheap.

If you like to draw, follow some entry drawing classes. If you don't like to draw, follow some photography classes. Entry level stuff is fine. It'll teach you to be a better spectator. (Learning how to look at and interpret art teaches you the same skill)

    Last year a lot of Belgian brewers have entered the game and it seems that they're expertise results in some great non(low)-alcoholic beers. As for why you would want a beer without alcohol. It's pretty refreshing.

    I suppose that about 1% of the inhabitants of our planet has a certain intolerance to gluten. Probably even more because a lot of people have such a light intolerance they write it off as something else.

    There's a lot of bad champagnes because the name only represents it origin and a certain production process but it's not an indication of quality.

    Apart from that there are teriibly sweet champagnes too but mostly people serve brut/dry versions that tend to be on the sour side. I've had champagne that just tasted like grapejuice.
