    A lot of what people call maturity is really just being too tired to try something.

      probably true for a lot of people. i think the joke in this comic is that many of us grow to appreciate the little things more as we grow older, and that leads us to being excited about things that our younger selves would have characterized as “boring”. It’s the same as rewatching a movie you thought was boring when you were 20, and discovering that it’s now your favorite movie ever.
