i have been taking a glassblowing class thats honestly been super fun... i just cant help but miss the enjoyment i used to have for computers lol its just kinda sad for some reason.

Honestly I'd suggest something that gets you out of the house more. Motorcycles, Latin dance, hiking and drinking is what I do for fun. I do enjoy programming for fun sometimes but the inspiration is something you have to find in other areas of life.

I think it's because they used to be exciting and mysterious, now they are just tedious and terrifying.
