When your mind and body doesn’t correlate eachother anymore as they used to. Your body wants to say “hey! lets go out and do things!” but your mind tends to go “Nah, I just want to sit here and think about stuff” and sometimes it is the opposite.

With a lot of experiences, many things feel repetitive and uninteresting. Making sure not to bring that energy everywhere takes a bit of practice. Health worries of course. People you know also getting old or disappearing. Losing parents if you haven’t already. Being expected to just get up and adult your way through it, somehow. And you do.
I remember an interview of Quincy Jones where he was just shit talking popular music of that time (maybe early 2010s), and ran through a bunch of examples, basically explaining where every musical element (particular chord progressions, instrumental combinations, beats/rhythms, etc.) that made it into whatever current popular song, was first pioneered by some recording artist he had worked with in some earlier decade.
He obviously knew a ton about music, from classical to jazz to pop to hip hop to country, but it was an interesting glimpse into the mind of a person who was basically saying “I’ve realized there’s nothing new to me anymore.”
With a lot of experiences, many things feel repetitive and uninteresting. I’m here in my professional life and I still have 20 or so years to go. Even new jobs end up beings about the same types of issues, only with a shit ton of info to swallow before you know what you’re doing…
