I've done some self diagnosis lately and I've come to realize that I'm not depressed, lonely, unhappy, or inactive.

First problem's right here. ^

I felt this way. Looking for something to sink time into and look forward to every day is important for your mental health. I don't know if you're "spiritual" but the right hemisphere is almost made for... praying? Something to do with a higher order. I have found enjoyment in esoteric practices. It gives me something to look forward to and assures me that the universe can't be fully understood (at this time, maybe ever, due to physical limitations). Do something new that breaks you out of your normal habitual routine. It should also be noted that it is very possible to become addicted to mental anguish, so be careful.

Break ups aren’t always easy.

Praying? Funny you should mention it. I used to pray a lot, and I can see that the majority of the world has bought into religions. I'd like to continue the practice, but I feel like I'd be disingenuine in doing so, because I'm not quite sure if I still believe or not. Given that there are so many mutually exclusive faiths, and given how easy it would be to make up a story like that, and given that there is no hard evidence, it seems to me like logic should compel one to be an atheist or an agnostic, in lieu of personal experience of a God. I do think it is possible that the human brain was made with religion or introspection in mind, so to speak, either through evolution or through the hand of God.

Regarding your advice, I tend to try new things. But after over 10 years of doing that routinely, finding new things to do becomes routine. Except things that require me to exert significant cognitive effort, like fasting. Just last month I was traveling and trying out a number of new things.

 For me at least and the way I was raised, religions are a method to communicate universal truths through symbolism. It never was about the story itself but the underlying message (duh). Take the knight's templar, it's still around today, they just renamed themselves freemasons. But there is value in the things they teach, and I read up on what they do, compared and contrasted them with other practices. I have been an atheist my entire life until ~3 months ago, I still really don't know how to feel about it. I've done lsd and a few other hallucinogens before but it doesn't come close to what I experienced meditating. It really feels like my mind is shattered now that my beliefs have changed in such short time. I can't believe I'm saying this but I know god exists. And there is absolutely nothing to prove it. It goes against everything I know. 

People deal with modern monotany in extreme ways, maybe in part because it feels like the world is being strangled. At least in the US. It just seems like people are done with the system but we're all imprisoned anyways unless you're a billionaire, but even they are bored. I've been thinking about Chris Mccandless' quote "happiness is only real when shared". Maybe people hopping is the cure. idfk. I hope you enjoyed your trip though.
