I ended each day of my old jobs exhausted, and never had the energy to do or try the things I thought I was interested in.
I am now in my mid 30s and find myself with a ton of free time. But I am finding I have no idea what I want to do.
Nothing that used to interest me interests me anymore. The things I think I might like I for whatever reason don't have the energy to do or try them.
I feel like I've been in survival mode for so long I dont know what my passions are. How do I find them again?
I'm even thinking about quitting programming altogether. But I love it so much that, at the very least, it'll always be a hobby for me.
I didn't find my complement, but didn't mingle widely until later on, when jobs put me in contact with many.
A friend I met after changing coasts liked trains, but it was a good excuse to carpool to fishing locations near those lines. I couldn't fish worth a damn, but those were beautiful locations, and they revived my photographic bug.
Things do connect, but not in isolation. Hobbies, either by association, or just getting out, create opportunities.
