Are there childish or childlike activities that you still enjoy?
I collect plush toys/stufffed animals and can’t sleep without one. I collect Hello Kitty anything. I enjoy animated movies almost more than I do live action.
At age 65, I still:
Kiss the author's picture after finishing a wonderful book.
Do an silly Happy Dance when delighted. This makes people laugh.
Hug trees, especially majestic, old-growth giants.
Crush cedar tree needles and rapturously smell them.
Take a nap when tired.
Read while eating, a terrible habit. At age 8, my daughter gave me a book weight to hold books open on a table. I'd been caught. Sit down, and I look around for something to read.
As a kid, I thought the milk carton said "Damn Fresh." "That's awfully bold of them," I thought. I needed glasses. It said "Dawn Fresh."
Greatly enjoy animated movies (collection has over 100 disks of animation). When I was very young I was into speakers and amplifiers. I am still upgrading the home theater sound system.
If you call farts "barking spiders" I'll laugh for a full hour
Most of my hobbies have roots in childhood activities of mine but arent inherently childlike. When I was little Id peck around on a keyboard, play drums on pots n pans, wittle sticks, build lego and erector sets, and play ninja turtles with foam nunchucks or a mop handle.
Now I play a full sized electric piano, real drums, work out with rattan bo staff, hardwood nunchaku, build and repair electronics, make wood carvings. I just do the real versions of all the fake things I used to pretend with, because Im a grown ass man and if I want to give my hands arthritis and nearly take my head off with real weapons, by god I will ?
I guess video games and drawing are the things that have changed the least but those arent necessarily childlike pursuits these days either. When I really wanna feel like a kid again I watch old nick at night shows with a big bowl of reese puffs.
As long as your hobbies don't harm others why worry about it?
Follow your bliss.
I still love walking down the sidewalk in the fall dragging my feet and kicking piles of leaves. The sound brings back childhood memories for me. At 67 I’m just a big kid in some ways.
Playing in the dirt.
It's now referred to as "gardening".
I still enjoy legos and playing games a lot. Also love collecting fun looking pillows...
I still build models. It's very relaxing for me, with a nice sense of accomplishment.
I like to read YA books because they're more fun than adult books. Why is so many adult novels never have any adventures or fun?
I still like video games and anything related to comics and some Japanese Anime.
I also enjoy watching cartoons, especially if it's something from back in the 80's when I was growing up.
I love warhammer 40k I love painting and collecting the models and I enjoy gaming with friends it’s a hobby I’ve never stopped since being s
I have a hello kitty touque haha. Might be the cutest cartoon character of all time.
Still enjoy the classic Looney Toons, and other classic cartoons haha.
