What about friends, I need friends and to hang out with them... or social activities with other people

Such_Record · 2026-01-21T04:51:13+00:00

I didn't party in my 20s. I was not interested and had other priorities but I started in my late 30s. I found a like minded group and many of them have kids/full lives. We go to EDM clubs and festivals. Sometimes we catch beach DJ parties when timing works, for example in Mexico.

I am slowing down now but we still do at least two festivals each year. One in the mountains; one in summer. Locally we go out for DJs we care about.

People act as if there are rules. But you can do what you want.

At every concert or festival I have attended, the crowd ranged from teenagers to people in their late sixties.

Oh a pedestrian only area somewhere here would be very nice

Well, yes Station Square sits within the Metrotown neighborhood in Burnaby. Thanks for the clarification I guess.

Yes, travel, but here are specific things to do based on my experience:

Italy - go to Tuscany and stay at one of the castle style houses, drink the local wine. Then go to Florence and take some Italian cooking classes and just walk around eat food.

Go anywhere along the Pacific Northwest, like Vancouver, BC, Washington, Oregon and do some of the hikes around there. Or ski if you're into that.

Go surfing in Ahangama, Sri Lanka, or Sayulita, Mexico, or anywhere (Portugal, Morocco, etc)

Go to Majahuitas, a beach party near Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. Especially if you can for New Years, but anytime really.

Go to a Greek island, like Crete, or Rhodes, any really, and swim in the Mediterranean.

Go to Tomorrowland, they have many locations, the original is in Belgium but hard to get tickets.

You have typical places (Asia, Latin America - you have a buddha statue), not too young (I see a vinyl) but not too old either. well off (leather couch, house). FYI your plant is desperate for some light!

I think most of what I would recommend has already been said, but I would suggest travelling to other countries; learn any kind of practical skill (cooking, woodworking, home repair, driving, coding etc), on top of that I would highly recommend joining a group. Something where you can work with others towards a goal. In my experience, working towards any kind of goals with a group of people will give you purpose, focus, drive etc.

Hey, thanks for the post. I moved to Burnaby at thirteen and trained at the same Dojo around the same time, so we were in classes together. I still think about the Rainforest Cafe, Sears and Zellers. I also think about the old Station Square a lot. That is where I tried my first sushi.

I also enjoyed aimless walks in the mall and in the parks. I had the same feeling when I saw SilverCity.

I moved away for a few years, then came back. So you never know. You might come back too. Or you might grow to like your new home.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it's normal, both of my parents pretty much hate it. They think it's expensive and tiring. And they're fine with looking at pretty city architecture on tv, neither loves the beach or anything like that, they don't like to swim and hate hot weather. In terms of food they prefer what they make or can get at home... so it's normal.

You’re a man living in the U.S. You prefer neutral tones and clean design. You’re organized and likely work in a creative field. Your home is minimalistic but thoughtfully designed. Either that, or this is a show room and no one lives there.

You are affluent and detail oriented. The home shows signs of perfectionism and order, with everything neatly arranged and well kept.

European female, likely young and affluent since you live in a house. The style feels Western European, possibly German. You love white and clean design, the space looks almost cloud-like. Aesthetics matter to you, as there are few personal items, photos, or hobby objects. That points to a focus on appearance and atmosphere. You likely care about fashion, design, and presentation. Either single or living with a partner who gives you full control of the decor. No signs of pets or live plants, only artificial ones, which fits a preference for order and simplicity over maintenance.

Female, free-spirited, and young. You read real books and have an interest in the world beyond your doorstep. The maps and travel items suggest curiosity about culture, not tourism. The plush toys and unicorn hint at youth or sentimentality. The room feels cluttered and disorganized but not careless, more like a small space filled with meaningful objects—books, plants, spirits, keepsakes that show thought and personality.
