You're more lucky than at least 99% of the people on Earth. You're young, educated, presumably healthy, and skilled. You have enough savings to survive for years if you budget well. I share some of those privileges, and it fills me with a deep sense of gratitude when I reflect on it. This leads to a desire to give back and help others. How you channel that is up to you.

There's so much more to the human experience than tech. I didn't have a liberal arts education, and spending time filling those gaps led to a new appreciation for literature, music, history, and philosophy. This expanded my pool of hobbies, and helps me connect with other people across more topics.

I assume you run or work out or something already so I'll skip the physical activity bit.
