Thank you both - I'm feeling the same, and I had tied up so much of my personality and life with software development, I feel pretty lost now. I've had a side project to work on for as long as I can remember, now I'm just not interested in building at all. And honestly, I don't know where to go from here.

My advice is aimed at previous me, so take it with a grain of salt.

I was not lost in my 20's. I am now lost in my 40's though, and I'm not looking to get back on the path.

Travel if you can. Find a job that takes you somewhere you wouldn't normally go. Life is about experiences, be open to them and get out of your bubble as much as you can stand.

Don't take it too seriously. Laugh and enjoy life as much as possible. Fake the enjoyment till it becomes real if you have to.

Stay lost, see where you end up.
