I agree with you: sometimes we skip certain stages, move past them, and feel like we don't need many things in our lives anymore. It's not even about youth; there's a certain clarity you acquire, a certain maturity. If going out, parties, and fashion were important before, now what matters is how you feel, not what you have or what you do. You can feel happy reading a book, having coffee on your old sofa at home, in your pajamas. I enjoyed reading your post. Best regards.
