Don't change a thing unless you want to! I felt the same towards my late 20's and tried all kinds of things to change up my life, try to expand my world. Some of it was good experience, but a lot of it just took me further from where I really wanted to be. Now that I am in the later half of my 30's and married, its getting back to the things I really enjoy (which happen to be very similar to what I did in my teens - including hanging out here)
Hej! I feel invited to share a secret with you :-) Ok, it's not a secret any more then, right? Ah, not a problem. I'm closing in on 60. And I still feel like a teenager. Ok with more money in my pocket, but that also takes some of the creative fun away ... I still try to enjoy the fascinating things out there --- despite the currently ongoing very annoying microbiological activity --- there is an unbelievable number of fascinating things on this small planet. Enjoy, while you still can.
Small example: recently I had a few neighbors over to look at 20 to 40 year old slides. Yepp. The old fashioned stuff with a projector :-) And my guest had never been to the US Southwest, their faces were gazing in awe. There is nothing like this where I live. So go, go out, look! And always take care.
A Margarita, once the dark ale is empty! Thanks, ~bartender.
And to ~tskaalgard: Live long and prosper and a little silly along the way! Cheers!

I'd tell you what to do, but then you'd have to start caring what I think again. ;-)

You must have recently had others look at you and transmit their thoughts: "why is he still living as if he were free?" Of course, it wasn't expressed that way. It was an "oh..." or a "you're still doing that?"
Speaking 20 years beyond your 30, the only way I can watch anime is in an all-night Miyazaki eggs-stravaganza.
