The vast majority of the paltry money I made from my part-time job had to go to rent and utilities and groceries and all that ****. I lived with my girlfriend and it was becoming clearer and clearer by the day that the relationship was not going to last but I stuck in it because we had an apartment lease together more than anything. I spent ~10 hours a day either in class, doing homework, or at my job. Literally nothing about my life was enjoyable or worthwhile...except for Daydream Society. To be perfectly blunt there were points where I would attribute Daydream Society with quite literally keeping me alive.
As a result, all of those albums serve as basically a time capsule. I remember the time of year, how I was spending my time, what I was struggling with every time I listen to one of those albums.
You're saying that you're struggling to find the motivation to maintain a creative project, but I would definitely recommend doing what you can in finding one to invest in. Any sort of creative motivation that leads to a tangible representation of progress can be a powerful thing for the mind.

For me the creative motivation was a way to essentially transform the time as much to transform anything else. It was just play. Perhaps the nature of my output can attest to this. Having to work does not lead me to want to play. It leads me to want to rage. Being put upon kills my desire to play and brings forth an angry, resentful monster who apparently does not much want to trade emotion for output.
