Our existence on this planet is programmed in such a way that, as we grow older and evolve, a lot of things change around us—things like habits, how we used to see a particular subject or an aspect of life, and also how we lose interest in certain things. That's the growth we always talk about. It does not necessarily mean physical growth but rather growth in lifestyle in general.
I have experienced many changes in my life so far, and I am aware of all of them.
I noticed that I have left the habit of excessive communication with people. While some people may say that communication is very necessary when relating with others, it is also not good when it is done excessively, wasting time that is supposed to be invested in something meaningful. Before now, I used to be a very chatty person on social media and in face-to-face conversations. I would spend hours chatting on WhatsApp and Facebook and, in the end, there would be nothing to show for it. The worst situation was that I would be chatting with online friends, friends that are very far away and whom I am not even sure I would ever meet. I would waste time and resources too, and at the end, there would be nothing apart from the bond we were trying to build together. The same thing goes for face-to-face conversations with friends, just wasting time and not getting anything positive at the end, apart from being seen as a lively person, as they would often say.
But a time came when I just found myself losing interest in all of that. I wanted to push through it so I could stay on track, but the force was just too much. So I let that winning force of segregation win, and it has been like that ever since, and I am not regretting it. I now put my energy into some other things that are much more beneficial to me.
It's not like I no longer talk or chat with people, I do. I just made them see that my absence is all about maturity, and that matters too.
Another thing I noticed that I have greatly lost interest in is drinking soft drinks like Coca-Cola various drinks (Coke, Fanta, Sprite, and others).
Before now, I was so addicted to taking any of these; I could barely go a day without taking a bottle of Coke, Fanta, Sprite, or Lacasera. I do not think maturity was the reason I lost interest. No, it was the warning talks from people about how it is not good for someone to keep consuming sugar every day. I have seen people with diabetes, and it is not a good sight. Thinking deeply, I had to caution myself, and that was how my interest in these drinks walked away. I still take them, but not as frequently as I did in years past.
Thanks!

I have very few friends I always look forward to talking with because I don't see it as a waste of time. They compliment me. And yeah, soft drinks are unhealthy and a waste of money.
Truly, growing comes with changes and it would happen whether we want it or not. Not feeling like chatting or talking is not bad and like you said, doing it excessively can be very dangerous.
About coke, it's a good change because those drinks aren't actually healthy for us. Cheers mate.
