Capitalism has brainwashed us into thinking we constantly need to be “striving” for MORE. It’s a scam. You should be overjoyed that you feel content with your life. If you’re looking for goals, focus on those that nurture your soul and bring you into the present moment.

This.

OP, if you REALLY want a challenge, have a baby and strive for HIS/HER happiness. If not, enjoy the best years of your life - your only plan should be to make sure to defend it from externalities.

You've made it, don't stress about it.

I don’t want kids, so I won’t be doing that.

But I do like the idea of helping those around me for sure, so I think I’ll research volunteer opportunities

Sounds like you might benefit from trying new things. Make it a scheduled thing: once a week, month, or whatever works for you, do a different new activity (like making a content calendar — but way better — bc it’s for your life). Pottery, a 5k, whatever feels new and challenging. If you’re not usually a thrill seeker, maybe switch it up and pick something a little more edgy — something that scares the bejeesus out of you (but also ignites a spark).

Actually, this is the BEST time to find a new passion. Bc you’re not frantic or trying to fill a hole; you’re simply asking more of yourself/life. Psychologically, a super healthy place to be coming from☺️
