Something that seems incredibly obvious in hindsight but just didn't click until just now.

That it is not, in fact, my fault that my friends are rude to each other and that it is not, in fact, my job to fix that

That you don't need to follow holiday traditions if they don't make you happy.

That my ADHD and anxiety were masking the fact that I am actually clinically depressed. Hooray!

On a lighter note, the hair ties you sometimes see that have light brown and goldy colors instead of just black are for people with light hair and I literally just figured this out.

That the phrase is "play it by ear", NOT "play it by year". I'm 37 and for 36 years I've been saying "play it by year". Either no one noticed or just didn't bother correcting me haha.

I'm in my 40s, and I just realized that Leap Year is always a presidential election year

That compared to the scale of the universe, I’m nothing so none of what I do will matter in the long run. It’s oddly comforting because there’s less pressure on me now to do anything

I think this is called optimistic nihilism, or I'm just stupid lol. For me its kind of depressing to think about, considering I have like a million obligations and am extremely busy, and it just doesn't matter? I have to do so much, but none of it really matters. Its interesting to see how this is different for every person though.

We all ask ourselves how we exist, chances of being born where we were born, meeting who we meet, or even how the earth and sun were formed. But... how did space form? Why and how do atoms exist, protons, neutrons and electrons? (Idk I've just never thought of that before it's very intriguing)

I'm not a Slipknot fan but I am familiar with Corey Taylor, and I do have one of his books that I enjoyed reading. I know Slipknot has been around for, at least 25 years or so. I didn't know Corey is 50. He looks more around 30s or early 40s. Please don't call me stupid or dumb, but I'm realizing, also, that would make sense because I was still a teen when Corey has been with Slipknot. So, I did know he was a bit older than me. I didn't know that much older. He's actually a Gen X. Born in 1973. Why is that so wild to me. I'm just saying, he doesn't look that old. Or maybe people closer to my age now are appearing younger as I get older.
