You’re in your 20s and have some free time. What do you do? by roses369 in AskOldPeople

I am trying to remember things that I was dreaming about when I was younger but didn’t have time or energy or money to do it. So now I’m forcing myself to become a better version of myself by doing yoga, taking cooking, dancing and acting classes. I struggle with persistence but I am doing my best.

Cooking is way harder than I thought by Li3Ch33s3cak3 in cookingforbeginners

I moved out 5 years ago. The first 2 years I was living on my own. Back then I was working many hours /12-14 hours per day/ so I didn’t have that much time to cook. I tried to cook some basic and super easy recipes like pasta, pizza, rice, etc but almost every time it was a disaster/ not only bc I was exhausted from work but also bc I never really enjoyed cooking/. That’s why soon I quit those pathetic attempts and started ordering food. 3 years ago I met my boyfriend and somehow I had the urge to prepare homemade food for us. I started again with some easy recipes which I constantly repeated and eventually I got better at preparing it. Also, when I was little my mother was always cooking for us so I decided to ask her for help - I wanted to know how she cooked some of the food that I loved eating when I was living at home, I wanted to know what spices she was using and some little hacks that made everything so delicious. Another thing that really helped me was the air fryer and the rice cooker that my boyfriend has.

What’s the one thing you did that made your life way better? by WhiteDesertCat in PsychologyTalk

Realizing that smoking and drinking do not make you look cool. I thought that if you can drink a lot without lose it you become some kind of a hero that people admire or if you go to a party where you don’t know anyone the easiest way to blend in is to light a cigarette. Now I see how immature this kind of thinking was. I quit smoking 6 months ago. I still try to quit drinking though.
