i miss the times when i had the feeling of "done"
when projects are completed.
not like "current milestone is done, breathe for the weekend, next milestone incoming", but when the project is DONE.

i miss the feeling when there's no rush to "do something, anything, or else your-something-will-expire, your-taxes-will-be-due, your-savings-will-run-out"
when the mind is free.

i miss freedom.

I used to have both aspirations and dreams. No more. For about 10 years already.

I still have wishes and preferences of course, but nothing like “wanna become a pilot” or “design the best algorithm for X” or “write a book” etc

Does anyone have experience of rekindling, reigniting them back?

I really miss that internal north star.
