We know little about how the inhabitants of the land of the rising sun actually live.

What are the things that make adults happy?

Appearance

And in their youth, young ladies sit for hours at the mirror, emphasizing their cheekbones or taking out their eyelashes. Over the years, little has changed in their lives: appearance is still paramount. Now they visit the gym, the pool, and do SPA procedures. They make an appointment with a beautician to remove skin imperfections. If there are financial resources to keep herself in perfect shape, a woman feels happy. Some shortcomings must be able to pass through themselves, not pay attention to them. What it is? Wrinkle? Not a reason to worry.

Fashion

When does a grown woman decide what to wear to a dinner party? Two hours before leaving the house? Should I take into account the latest fashion trends? Over the years, the realization comes that they do not show off at parties, but try to be themselves. And it is comfortable only in those clothes that are not tight and do not press. No one has given up on the desire to look beautiful. It's just that beauty has become a loose concept. Do not discuss the younger generation or neighbors for what they wear. You can be happy in your pajamas at a restaurant or in an elegant winter coat by the dumpster. After 50 years, they stop believing in the power of ... matter ...

Night to sleep

Young people consider partying in the club until the morning a happy pastime. Adults - sitting by the fireplace with their beloved husband in an embrace with an album for photographs. Silent night - healthy sleep - no health problems.

Less friends

It is a common truth that the social circle changes over the years. Numerous “best friends” are disappearing, because of which always headaches and insomnia. After 50 years, only the most faithful remain by the side, and the feeling that natural selection has succeeded makes you happy.
