Ty Brando! I loved the piece. Can def relate to not having a thing. I just stopped working for 8 months now and found myself building a full online multiplayer game, while learning coaching and motivational interviewing, while being a part-time professional DM.

Sometimes it does feel scary to have so many things in my life at the same time, what if I could make more money, get better at one thing.

It's great to feel validated that yes, it's ok to not do one thing

This is brillinat. The way this reframes obsession as a temporary state rather than a permanet identity marker is such a freeing concept. I've always felt that pressure to find one singular path, and like you, I've realized some of my most rewarding pursuits came from just following curiosity without forcing it into a lifelong comittment. The idea that racing boats are cool too is something I needed to hear tbh.
