It's fun to be able to slowly observe the differences. Workout habit, eating habit, working hours, sleeping schedule, journaling habit, time tracking habit, music, reading, family time, the staycations and roaming about, the travel bug.

The drive to perform, the recurring burnouts, the overthinking, the analysis paralysis, the lack of shipping (Resistance and self censorship), the journaling, the philosophising, the researching, the organising, the tendency to go "hermit mode" and yearning to live alone, the geneticals like grey hairs and thinning hair. are part of the sky.
