Hobby Burnout

This post is best for other outdoorsy enthusiasts. I’d post in the hiking subreddits, but they’re so full of beautiful photos of beautiful places I don’t want to slap such a sad post.

Beginning 2017, I grew to be an intense hiker, backpacker, mountain climber. We are talking going on some outdoors adventure once a week. It was for the beautiful scenery and the exercise. Since last year, I took a job that has me walking 7-10 miles a day. I love it. However, the idea of driving hours and hiking makes me think the weekend won’t be fulfilling. I’ve only hiked a dozen times in the last year and feel I have some sort of dumb obligation to fill.

Anyone gone through the same feelings want to chime in?
