My biggest surprise around 35 was losing interest in almost all goals i had.

Partially it’s a life crisis im going to overcome, but in big extent it’s intellectual maturity.

You just see how silly and worthless most of the goals people fight for.

And most of the meaningful things in life, like family, health etc. are not really goals, but rather a process or part of life itself, part of you who liked to set goals in the first place.

I used to fall asleep thinking about the next cool app or website I could build.

Now I think "is another reddit/tiktok/silly app/game reeeallly worth doing when all big apps are a trade off for other things like privacy etc" - I feel I talk myself out of things before trying them.

I hope it is repeated lockdowns and covid life in general right now that has destroyed my optimism and not intellectual maturity.

My optimism and overall mood btw is great. I think because of being more focused on important things like close people, health.

So im sure next big thing will find me when time will come, but I really don’t care if it’s an app or something totally different.
