Everything in our life becomes ‘narrower’ as we age. We become more selective as we have learned what and who we like, and this includes pretty much every area of our life. Though we still explore and learn new things even that avenue narrows. It’s quit natural as I see it and we’re better for it.
I can see your perspective and agree with it for the most part. I don’t get out as much as I used to due to being in a small town. I love all the small town folks that have become good friends.
Sometimes, I miss the city and being able to walk to restaurants, shops and pubs. Don’t miss Somali city though. Boy, do I have stories about those critters in their smelly sheets. No, I am not politcally correct. Lived it in South Minneapolis for 20 years, no plans to do it again.
