That is not to say I don't love how my life is now, but I think people need a release. They need to have something that is "theirs".

Yeah, I agree with this. I have good and bad days at work (a lot more bad days lately unfortunately), but over the last year and a bit I've taken up a more regimented exercise regime with some physical goals I'm working towards. I'm a scientist by training, so the experimentation and tracking of results keeps me interested and is pretty fulfilling. I look forward to it no matter how crappy the day was. Similarly, doing little (or big) reno jobs in my house is so freaking gratifying compared to my actual work. Plumbing in a sink or something practically puts me in a zen-like state.
