What are some examples of your tastes changing as you got older?
I've started to really like just mustard and sauerkraut on my hotdogs and racing games over FPS because they're a little slower paced.

According to my doctor I'm experiencing severe depression so... Everything changed.
I had doctors for my depression for years, and they would occasionally say things like “some people feel a little better when they exercise. It’s the endorphins”
What I wish they had done instead was grab me by the lapel, slam me agains the wall, slap me a couple of times, and yell “You fool, you’re depressed because your brain has atrophied from lack of movement! Your natural state is very happy but you evolved to be moving your body!”
When I finally did connect those dots, and finally saw the research on hippocampal neurogenesis, I upped my running from 2 miles maybe every other week, to like 30 miles a week.
And the depression was gone. For the first time in decades. The effect was so much more powerful than the meds.
Read up on exercise, BDNF, hippocampal volume, and depression.
Or just trust me, and go run like a caveman chasing a deer to exhaustion.
I'm actively rowing almost every day that I can and trust me it's much more demanding than just running.
Thank you for your advice but sometimes life just fucks you up and spits you out the other way.
