To reiterate what others here are getting at, there is a saying that goes something like "Pick your second favourite hobby as your profession", suggesting that doing it professionaly often ruins it. My old flatmate was a very sort-after chef in the city we lived, getting job offers all over the place and he'd come home every night and make himself instant ramen because he didn't want to spend anymore time in a kitchen. If you're failry young and unencumbered you have a few options ranging from least drastic like: pick up a new hobby, change teams, change jobs within the company or change jobs completely to a new company and variations on those to most drastic: change professions entirely, go to university, pick up a trade doing something that interests you.
