> Find hobbies, find many hobbies, switch constantly, and you might just find one niche you love.

I think that if there is something that defines me, is that I change hobbies quickly, after a deep dive. That's basically how I got where I am. Should I keep doing what I always did then?

thanks, I love practical advice, accompanied by an URL ;)

ohhh would love to join philosophy groups... is it a thing?
adv0r··on Ask HN: I implemented the life I designed: perfect but I feel lost. What now?
Are you sure? I spent the last 30 years focusing on myself, on what I wanted to do, to learn, to get, to reach... Idk...

>Start by digging into your own uneasiness. Where does it come from? What triggers it? You'll find some personal thing, most likely from childhood, tucked away in the recesses of your psyche that drives you. Meditation and self-honesty are key here.

I somehow feel like my "uneasiness" are the real engine that makes me go around so fast, honestly faster than most of the people I have around. Do I need a cure from it? I am not sure I am ready to kill the engine.

Maybe I should do this. I'd feel like a hippie, drawing smiles on stones, but ... who knows

Barcelona. I will try to follow your advice locally. There is no shortage of social emergencies in southern Europe.

> Sounds like you had a checklist/recipe for life and you went with it.

Yep, tried to follow a mix of passion and checklists.

> Do whatever.

love this. This is also the problem itself. I can do anything. But what will I miss out if I do x instead of y?

> Learn an instrument, buy a motorcycle, make a painting, become a scuba instructor, run a marathon, try drugs, move to another country, sit at a park/cafe and talk with people - you get the picture.

The instrument sounds good. I. did run a marathon, bought a motorcycle (and a sailboat), I can't paint, lived in 6 countries, drugs scary the shit out of me after teenage THC-related panic attacks.

Give me more.

> You'll find something that clicks, just get out of your checklist view of life.

Hahaha, some friend call me the "list man"... they also made a drawing of me holding a checklist at my wedding :

I'm kind of sick of myself, honestly.

Ok, this is a very good reply and feedback. I am not even sure I am fully grasping it at the moment. I will get back after I watched the video. But it seems like you read between the lines pretty well.

>enmesh yourself for a few weeks or months in all the possible paths you could focus yourself on

Can you expand a bit on this? Maybe provide some examples...

Because sometimes with the "pocking around, keeping myself busy, ..." I do have the illusion I am exploring some paths. In a very shallow way

>Is your life really what you want?

Not really, you are right. Those things are culturally superimposed on a great extent.

>You can make art, draw, musik, sing, dance, sport, research.

Besides sport and research, which I basically practice daily, it's been ages since I last danced/sang/played an instrument. Let alone drawing and art :) Are you suggesting that I can find meaning by adding some of those to my weeks/days? It can be an improvement, but I don't feel it like a silver bullet.

> Love what you do

This sounds very cliche to me. Some day I'm loving programming, other days it feels like painful uselessness. The same applies to everything. "what I do" changes often, and so does the love I feel while doing it.

Where would you start?
adv0r··on Ask HN: I implemented the life I designed: perfect but I feel lost. What now?
Where do I start? What's the first baby step? I googled "Volunteering opportunities" many times without success so far ;)
adv0r··on Ask HN: I implemented the life I designed: perfect but I feel lost. What now?
not the case here. I don't think that adventure and spicy is what's missing. I did a lot of those things and more, luckily... It is true, however, that it's getting increasingly harder to convince friends to join me in adventures.

thanks for the feedback! I'll take your advice into account and dive into the book

adv0r··on Show HN: Push More – Receive Webhook Requests in Telegram
I love it but it has a few catches.

could you please escape the whitespace? "hello world" returns me "hello+world" . Also I am trying to configure a nice template on zapier, so I'd need it to reckon "newline\n" last but not least, parse URLs please!

EDIT: looks way better if I send data in JSON instead that raw/form
