5th try for my 5th decade

It was unending, and thus is starting again. You guys, I'm turning 40 in a week and I feel shitty about my life. I'm generally unfulfilled, have fallen away from any hobby I ever enjoyed, and feel like I have zero friends and motivating factors in my life. So. What's the best way to change that? Another attempt at doing a 101 goals in 1001 days? OK! 

There are some longtime favorites that despite never achieving, I still put on the list. I *think* they are still things that will bring me joy or something.  There are some newish things. We'll see how it all goes, but hopefully, I am slightly more committed to this one than the last one. So here goes:

Begin Date: July 1st, 2022

End Date: March 28, 2025

I honestly can't even imagine being alive in the year 2025; it's so much in the future, but I guess it's nice to have something to look forward to.
