"Eat. Drink. Enjoy the work you do. Be thankful for the blessings God gives you in this life. Live, love and seek out the things that bring your heart joy. The rest is meaningless... Like chasing the wind." King Solomon

I'd still give the rides at Alton Towers a go if it wasn't for my spondylosis. However, my neck gives me serious gyp going over a pothole in the road so my days of riding the rollercoasters are well and truly behind me. I'm now on a sad caterpillar that goes about 5 mph because that's all my decrepit body can cope with. But I can verify that I was still on the fast-rides, screaming like a lunatic (and saying shit really loudly) into my late 30s at Alton Towers.
Alas, these days I am the sad act who has to stand there holding coats and bags while others go and enjoy themselves. Can't even stand there eating a 99 while I'm waiting because dairy has decided that it hates me.
Never liked holidays. Strange houses, sand in my crevices, creepy crawlies - nah..Ditto for visits to the seaside (for both holidays and singular day trips) and not forgetting Christmas.
I believe the young un's refer to this phenomena as 'meh'.Has anyone else by their late teens-early 20s, suddenly experienced a sudden lack of enjoyment of/enthusiasm for things they previously enjoyed during their childhood and/or earlier teenage years?
Also what's the phenomena called?
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
We all need a break but it's nice to have you back, Nora!
I've never been into theme parks but have always loved football and used to love going to live football as a child/teenager at Selhurst Park (Crystal Palace FC). I went with my Dad and have many happy memories from watching Palace's dour struggles and plummeting form..Recently I went back for a few years before Covid and home circumstances put a stop to it all. It's all corporate now so not the same.
I think 'corporate' has become the case with a lot of things in general, especially post-1995.
Even places like pubs, restaurants, charity shops, etc, have seemingly become a lot more 'corporate' over the same time period, and many no longer seem to have the same 'individuality' that they once had.
I don't think it's just me but many things in general nowadays seem very samey and predictable, and lack the individuality and 'charm' of such things in the pre-21st Century era.
A virtual lack of originality IMO, but on the other hand, no matter what, it does seem that an increasing number of persons happen to revel in slagging off anything 'new' and 'different', but at the same time bemoan 'sameness'!
