I turn 25 years old this August. I'm told that everything is supposed to go downhill from here. I'm an optimist so I choose to believe that life is a fine wine and only gets better with age.

There's a new study that says most Americans stop wanting to try anything new when they turn 25. That includes everything from new food, hobbies, making new friends, meeting new people and going on new or adventurous vacations.

The study also states two reasons why this happens. People say they lack insinuation to try anything new and they are afraid of being laughed at.

I'm hoping that, since I seem to find inspiration all around me and I'm not really afraid of being laughed at, this doesn't apply to me!!
