There's always something nagging in me that bumming it out in a café literally every saturday isn't living life to its fullest, but goddamnit is it /comfy/

      alcoholism has caused me to gain 50 pounds which was good except it's about 20 pounds too many

      Most things in this world are better than alcoholism

      not really, though I probably would prefer a library for über-serious studying. But I'm not in college/grad-school so I don't do that anymore :spongebob-party:

    As someone who goes out / does new things all the time, I assure you there isn't much you're missing.

    I almost overcompensate with activities / socialization because I do a terrible time of being content/ being present/ and being alone.

    I think capitalism has also molded us into believing time is a resource that must be demonstatively quantifiable. Ie feeling guilt for time not spent to the fullest.

    If you want to do something new and mix the routine because you want to do it, not because you feel you should do it, then go for it. Otherwise it sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup, and don't feel guilty for enjoying time the way you want, even if it's hard to quantify or articulate.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but if it doesn't bring you contentedness try some new things. Go to museums, walk through the park, play DnD, whatever sounds exciting give it a go and see if it gives you contentedness that your comfy cafes don't.
