Get shit back on track I guess. On the one hand I shouldn't have much to complain. I own an apartment, have enough money to get by and buy myself something nice every now and then. But mentally and physically I'm a bit of a trainwreck at the moment. Burnt out and unsure what I really want from all of this. I kept going on too long in a state that provided me everything I wanted on paper, but somehow caused a lot of trouble in practice. Ignored my hobbies for so long that I don't really know how to start with them again. I need my younger spirit back. The one that just did things because it sounded fun without overthinking or focusing on the end result. But I feel like corporate life has poisoned me to think in results and plan everything in advance.
