Your specific hobbies. You might jump between them, but they're different for you than anyone else.
A lot of these are issues you gotta work with to live well. The solutions to these issues, whatever combo that lets you live your life, that's unique to you.
I dunno that's all I got. It doesn't feel like enough, personally, but it is better than nothing.
Self is an illusion. We're all just a product of our brain chemistry and experience. Don't sweat it.
No. If you think you're "just a product of (y)our brain chemistry", you're selling yourself short. There's a "you" in that meat-sac, so keep throwing levers and pushing buttons. You fly the ship. ๐ค๐ผ
