totally agree :bows:
I cannot really understand the question either (that of whether someone is too old or not. moreover, it is often asked by teenagers and ppl in their 10s... having oneself as an example is never too appealing, but I must say I'm 24, and never asked myself the question of whether I'm too old or not, nor did I start to think about it when others asked me the same). I think it is one's own choice what they are into, what they do in their spare time, and what hobby, fanatism or anything else they choose to have, regardless of age. if one has an obsession towards them, having tamagotchis is one possibility. if someone else is into collecting teddy bears, that's OK too. or Barbie dolls, or My Little Ponies, and spending their spare time combing their hair. or... empty beer cans. such things are by no means age-related.
not to mention such threads often contain something like "according to my friends" or "my parents say" - come on! it's you, not your friends! what do you know, what can you be sure of if you're not even sure of yourself? don't take anything for granted just because someone else says or suggests it, that someone is definitely not you. if one feels too old they will just stop playing with tamas, simple as that. caring for them will no more be interesting, and other things will take their place. but until this doesn't come from the inside, from an own thought, but from the outside, from others' suggestion and comments, giving tamas (or
anything) up is not really a smart thing to do imho. those who are important will accept this liking of tamas as they will also accept anything else (of course I am talking about things within a certain category. I by no means encourage you to take drugs and make your friends and family accept your way of life like that, I by no means say if they are true friends they definitely will. no, it's not like that, it's another story. sorry for the harsh example), and those who will not be able to accept it, well, they cannot really be regarded as either caring or important, for they like you for something you are not.
guess I'm in such a
love-and-peace mood today, sorry for that
