Default Re: Do you find it hard to motivate yourself now you are older?

I am finding it hard. I've failed to achieve anything of lasting value, managed to spend ALL of my 30s living at home which I absolutely did not intend to do, and have also become much more boring. Think how your parents and their friends mostly seemed boring when you were a teenager. Well I'm like that but without the excuse of children, a partner, a 'proper' job, a house and the usual boring middle aged person things. Even stuff I used to like I'm sort of meh about. More like - yes, I like that, rather than omg I'm so passionate about this activity/piece of art/place whatever it is. I finally went on holiday somewhere I've always wanted to go this year, and I enjoyed it, but it wasn't AMAZING! I kept thinking how much more fun it would have been going in my early 20s. Weirdly a NEW hobby or interest (that doesn't cost a lot) still seems somewhat fun.
