This feeling hits home! This may sound very cliche, but one conversation with my dad changed my entire view of life. In that conversation when I questioned him how he was so happy, he replied that he had never expected anything out of life.

The author also seems to find happiness out of the least expected things! He just tried things because he felt like it. Without expecting anything from it. It sounds selfish when people do things for themselves, but people like author needs these kind of work. The kind to let them go wild in their interest/imagination. Maybe author may find new interests, change his direction, and venture on new road. But that still means he is probably going to feel good about it.

I hope he is still having a good time (and hope that he has no issue regarding money!) Make the best out of your moment and good luck with your ML adventures. Cheers!!
