I don't know but earlier I kind of thought to myself in one of those moods, if there were no places such as clubs and places like that, no adverts (commercials) for holidays abroad, theme parks, sports or gyms. I'd feel better knowing that probably more people are like me nearly always at home on a weekend, only has one or two holidays abroad a year, hardly ever goes to a theme park, hasn't played sport since school, and never goes to a gym. I know the world would probably be a very boring place and I don't want to spoil other people's things that they enjoy and find fun but right now that's how I feel. I'll probably feel better after a while and those thoughts will go away.
I seem to feel I make the wrong decision if I decide not to take up someone else's idea of doing something different that I am maybe not interested and push me into it by telling me that I only live once and to just do it. It makes me feel as though should be someone who is very active almost to the extreme, doing lots of exercise and doing lots of adrenaline-rushing stuff as though when you are young that is what you ''should'' be doing and then you won't have the kind of thoughts of ''I should have done this'', ''I should have done that'', ''Why didn't I get into this?'', ''Why didn't I get into that?''. Seeing those people do those things make it seem as though I had planned out their life already knowing full well what they want to do in life.
I'm not so sure many people genuinely enjoy night clubs, it's the first thing people give up once they settle down. I expect a sizeable percentage only go to those places to try and meet a partner or use them as an excuse to meet up with groups of school/college/uni friends for a few years before they move on. I couldn't see the appeal at all, nor do I understand going on holiday just to sit on a crowded beach all day and get drunk in the bars at night, or to go to a theme park to be strapped into some contraption and be thrown about for 5 minutes at a time.
None of my ancestors would have done any of the above things until the last two or three generations. I like to be by the sea but much prefer a cool windy day on the North sea coast with my hat and coat on to some hot sticky Spanish resort.
I think all of the popular activities today are just a symptom of the current madness. Loud busy places where people go to supposedly "unwind" but a lot of them couldn't actually deal with somewhere calm and quiet where they'd have the space to re-connect with nature and reflect on what they're doing with their lives.
Sports and gyms make much more sense but sadly I can't do neither. I enjoyed playing football but I felt I was so bad at it that I had no choice but to give it up. Important to get some exercise though, I go for walks.

for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.
