"Play with it while you have hands!"

What I'm trying to say, is: just do it, anything you feel like. Things only get more complicated later in life.

But I don't feel like anything in particular. If someone were to tell me to "just do it" a trillion different random things have equal potential to come to mind. Should I tour the toothpick factory because that's "a thing to do while alive", as opposed to trying out at the tiddlywinks championship? That's the issue, nothing that I would expect to be able to do draws me.

That's sounds vaguely like "anhedonia". You can try refreshing your interest in the hobbies you used to like. Joining your friends / relatives in their hobbies. Staying in the nature is always great, as long the nature is not hostile at your place. Staying around people, interacting with them, observing their lives, problems and joys. You'll find something that suits you.

You wouldn't be wrong. And yeah, I'm still trying to find some humans to connect to. It hasn't been easy where I am.
