Most of the time I prefer to stay at home. A lot of my friends are married so I only invite single friends/unmarried friends. If they have time, they will accept my invitation and we will go outside to watch movies/go to the cinema or eat meals together/dine together. When I was younger, I was more passionate about going /more excited to go outside to celebrate festivals. But, now that I’m older, I only want to stay at home to lie in bed.
