Won’t lie. I’ve got a little wiggler in my life. I never feel ennui anymore.
It’s definitely a struggle to find free time for personal hobbies or even just mindless recreation. But I’m also spending a lot more time at the park or the local running trails, playing catch and tag, eating ice cream, playing fetch with the dog, dancing to loud music, reading books, and just kinda roughhousing with a bundle of endless energy.
It’s not for everyone, obviously. But what you might really need is someone else to do the things you love. Hobbies without peers or mentor/mentee can feel hollow. Collaborative projects generate their own kind of energy and momentum, as you get to aim bigger and tackle more complex problems without being overwhelmed by overspecialized minutae. And teaching someone else the basics is a great way of reviewing/practicing what you already know without it feeling boring or mundane.
