Thanks for being honest. Passion is a weird thing, in my opinion. It’s kind of elusive for me, when I try to pin it down and define it. But it’s still an incredibly important/influential force. I can relate to parts of your story even though we don’t seem to have much in common on the surface. I’m pretty sure you can’t help getting a new passion if you hang in there, as you’re doing. Especially with regard to your list of things you didn’t do, I’m reminded of this C.S. Lewis quote:

It is simply no good trying to keep any thrill: that is the very worst thing you can do. Let the thrill go — let it die away — go on through that period of death into the quieter interest and happiness that follow — and you will find you are living in a world of new thrills all the time. But if you decide to make thrills your regular diet and try to prolong them artificially, they will all get weaker and weaker, and fewer and fewer, and you will be a bored, disillusioned old man for the rest of your life.

— Mere Christianity (1952)
