Yeah, great point. I wanted to say about weather specifically; added to the latest edit of the post.
Just curious about “wishing you’d figured it out long ago”, at what age did you in fact figure it out? For me I think it was understood instinctively since my twenties, and saved me from a lot of trouble.
Age 25 was the big transition. Before then I focused on school and work, which kept me indoors and busy. Then I quit grad school and became more social, exercised, and lost weight. I quickly became much happier. In later years I slowly learned the importance of hobbies that use my hands or get me out of the house: cooking, gardening, biking, travel, fossil hunting, photography. I’m 53 now. Still looking for ways to have fun, but the list in this article covers the big ones.
