Want to get a brief idea about the members of this forum

[mustachioed_badass_42]

I just wanna know the current members of the forum a bit better . *scratches head* Erm, maybe perhaps the country you're from, your age, hobbies or interests, or what you do in your free time. And just about anything you'd say to describe yourself

 

[okidoke]

i think i've probably made a lot of that clear in various posts and videos I've attached what about starting with your own answers to those questions?

I'm 46

I love exercising and keeping fit, I really enjoy personal development and seeing something (anything really) transform and beautify - I just spent the last 7 months helping renovate a worn down space and turn it into a luxury store.

But ... what I love most is real AF conversations with authentic people.

What about you?

Fine then . I am from India, 15 years old. My interests include dabbling in philosophy and literature. I also like playing cricket and chess (although I suck at both ). I also like visiting different places and learning about different peoples and cultures. I write (admittedly embarrassing) poetry and like reading poetry too. I also like interacting with and listening to people's stories; but have recently come to love my solitude as well. And @okidoke I'm kind of a new member here, so not gone through most posts. So certainly it would be rather tedious to go through numerous posts than to just get an idea of people in a single thread

That's so cool! I also really enjoy philosophy and literature but I haven't been exploring it so much in recent times. My son is the same age as you actually and we have a really close relationship which I feel super lucky to have.

speaking of literature my son home schools and last year we worked through Animal Farm and analysed The trumsn show, this year he switched to distance education so ive been less involved although I dabbled in Shakespears Macbeth - what about you what literature have you been getting into?

Also, what brings you to this site?

I've played cricket and chess in the past, but not very well. Poetry I can't do lol. Philosophy I struggle with. My kids are all older than you. Thx for sharing. Do you actually have a mustache?

Haha, nope, definitely not in peoples faces enough as I just learnt all this about you just now (although I already knew the nature and travel videos bit )

 

[mustachioed_badass_42]

My native language is Bengali, so I have read two Bengali novels by Rabindranath Tagore. He is a massive cultural icon among Bengali speakers; and while there are English translations of his works, I'm not sure you'd be familiar with him. I've also read a philosophy book by Nietzsche. Good to know even you are interested in these things

As for what brought me to the site, I was just browsing for such kinda forums in April this year, and decided to join this one to talk to people.

I have a rudimentary moustache and sideburns right now, but want to grow one when I grow up but some guys in my class have denser facial hair

I could barely grow any facial hair right up into my late 20;s, then I wasn't allowed to have a beard as a cop, then after I retired and grew it out it was already grey

Older than you. Lol
I like researching and debating. Used to sketch. Used to do photography. Used to game.
I'm a single mother, I know not of this "free time" you speak of.

 

[Abstamyous]

Welcome! And thank you for sparking a conversation. I wouldn't have known where to begin at your age.

I am an oldie from Canada (the prairies, not the super populated areas).

I am a mother of 3, as well as have a full time job. My most consistent hobby is sending snail mail/postcards to people all over the world.
I spend a lot of my time listening to podcasts about financial responsibility or mental health, as well as all types of music. I dislike the quiet, despite having 3 kids. When those fail, I put on The Lord of the Rings trilogy, or lately, The Menu.

I will share one of my favourite poems. Simple but interesting to me.
