My dad is turning 36 in April, and quite a few of my friends (I’m 18, for reference) say that he doesn’t “act his age.” By that, they mean he posts a lot on Instagram (especially daily Stories where he vlogs his life, lol), he’s trendy and very open-minded, works out and takes great care of himself so he looks hot, and he’s really into nightlife and partying. He’s also very adventurous and just a fun guy in general. They don’t think it’s a bad thing at all - in fact, they think it’s cool. But it got me wondering: how is a 36-year-old supposed to act? lol
I don’t disagree, I’m a big fan of ATLA, for instance, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Berserk, NGE, and many others. And movies like Memories, Redline, Vampire Hunter D, Akira… But it’s important not to get lost in media consumption and lose track of things that are (and should be perceived as) more important in life, that’s all I meant. I’m not even that good at not getting lost, I’m just saying it’s important to keep it in mind.
