I feel like a total loser maybe because of hormones or possibility that ive done nothing my whole like. Ive had some interest/ideas on what to do but all of them are complex and im not sure how to start simple. I want to make games but it requires coding, art, a cool idea, and more but i stink at all those stuff and im impatient for some reason. Its like i want life to be easy but its not. The only think ive pushed thru is dnd, i like it depending on the group, but right now i feel burned out and numb. I just need something for my personal life. It would help if i could do it from a computer because thats what i have or for free.

garden, put your hands on plants, keep in touch with the world of nature…

Adding to that: It doesn’t have to be a garden. Pot plants do the trick, too. It’s nice to see something grow each day.

And if you (OP) think you wouldn’t be able to keep a plant alive, don’t worry. There are virtually indestructible house plants.

Having something green indoors apparently also lifts a mood.
