to all the elders one , i want t ask what experiences one should not miss out . it could be anything u want to share like travel or something else . how to enjoy your 20 s ?
Turning 50 next year, total eclipse was the neatest experience so far. I saw it in Indiana. It’s impossible to describe or capture in photos or video, you must experience it in person. Absolutely worth traveling for if you’re able.
Travel alone and do some volunteer work.
Learn a different language not in your native languages language family
I speak 4 languages and it feels like I think differently in each language.
Working in customer service. Everyone should work either at retail, and/or in a restaurant as wait staff. Male or female. You will get treated like crap. The idea is that you won’t later do the same to other retail/service workers.
At the very least, you should, if you ever intend to frequent such establishments, anyway.
I have never worked in a restaurant or retail, and yet somehow I still manage to treat them with respect because I’m not an arsehole.
Such nonsense advice. People in retail often treat eachother terribly, this idea that you won’t be mean if you’ve had the experience is a pipe dream. Assholes will be assholes whatever their experiences are.
OP: what’s an invaluable experience in life?
Lemmy: Work!
Read a book that is >100 years old.
A deep interpersonal relationship, one that finally shifts the focus from one’s self-centeredness and hedonistic desires to caring about someone else, to prioritising the other. As sad as it is to say (because not everyone gets to it), I don’t think you can be a proper mature adult without it, you’ll just be a selfish, shallow child with no patience for the other. So, taking care of a gf/wife and taking care of your children obviously belong to this category, as well as being a devoted caregiver in general.

We all know you’re literate.
First, sober up and get control of yourself.
Then, do whatever you want. 20s are still young.
