OP, what I noticed about your post is that you've mentioned nothing about your personal life outside of tech, which is the biggest ingredient to feeling happy and fulfilled once your immediate physical living needs are met. Since you mentioned you don't currently want to do another personal project, forget tech for a moment. You have an easy job you can do to support yourself, work on your other stuff. Here's some stuff outside of tech you might consider doing to grow as a person, find happiness, and possibly give you new ideas and perspectives. * Spend time seeking a relationship or growing the one you currently have. * Find your hobby, or work on something you know you already like. Maybe take some random classes or events to learn random skills (glasswork, metalworking, woodworking, sculpture, etc). Maybe you'll find something that you adore doing. * If you're not in the physical shape and health you want, use your extra time and energy to focus on that. * Consider further education, even if it's unrelated to tech. * Figure out an interesting home improvement project that's realistic for you. Accomplishing something on your own gives you a great feeling. * Use some of your extra time and energy to help others. Maybe volunteering somewhere will give you a feeling of being useful. * Travel and/or do some fun things you wouldn't ordinarily do, hopefully with some friends.
