You know, next year will mark my 10th anniversary of going to anime conventions, and I will have spent ALL of my 20s (no, not $20 bills, but the age range of 20-29) going to these things (I will be 30 in 2017, and don't get me wrong, I enjoy going to them, mostly for the social aspect, and I've made many memories going to them).

I've come to realize, though: Maybe it's me getting older now, but every con I go to now, you come to expect certain things, and there are little surprises left. I still kinda enjoy cosplay.... should I say goodbye to going cons, or should I just keep going until I can enjoy them no more? I feel a bit torn, IMO. But then again, given that I make a lot of great memories from them, I feel like I should still go. :)

There's nothing wrong with having a passion for something. If you still enjoy them then why should you stop going there? It's stupid to give up something you like just because you get older instead of keeping that interest of yours. If you love something then you shouldn't let it go. :)
