I just turned 29 myself, WFH as well
>How do you manage to let go, and how the fuck do we optimize this gift of life, cognizance, and financial knowledge weve been given?
Meditation keeps me grounded in the reality that all we have is the current moment. Its all weve ever had, and its all we will ever have. Our life is the collection of experiences we have while we're alive, so if you want a more fulfilling life, that will only happen by seeking fulfilling experiences.
Ive always found it helpful to follow your natural curiosity. Over the last few years Ive picked up a number of hobbies just because I wanted to know what they were like: boxing, weightlifting, dancing, playing different instruments, going to night clubs. Not all of these have been fulfilling experiences, but some of them are. And most are things I was surprised and impressed with myself for trying. I'm terrified of heights but I've flown a cessna 172 just because I wanted to know what it was like.
So yeah I think about the life I wanna have in 10 years and then take steps to move there. The life we live 10 years from now will only happen as a result of the things we do now. And along the way, if something pokes my curiosity, I follow it fearlessly and see where it goes.
Read lots of books too, if you arent already. The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer might be a good one for the questions youre asking.
>Also, where are all the irl friends?
Ive found the easiest ways to make friends is through work or school. Its true that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and those environments are naturally structured around challenges with opportunities to overcome them with other people. Same places are good for finding meaningful romantic partners too in my experience. Some will suggest getting hobbies and joining communities but Ive always found people in those environments to be flaky and not looking for more meaningful friendships. They can be pleasant to be around but often dont wanna hang out.
