It's a difficult thing, because in my case while I think I was writing a bit more for myself before I found fandom, I wasn't writing regularly, and I was already stuck in a relationship going nowhere that I didn't know how to get out of. So... now I'm out of the relationship and I still don't know where I'm going, and writing, which I used to do every day for myself, is now my respite... that I'm back to doing very regularly (not quite every day but close.)
I mean, I think that during the days that I was writing for myself every day, I was extremely naive... so I think that's similar to what you're saying... and as life wears on you, well... you have less energy for the things that you did without any qualms in the past. But of course, those are the same things that kept you happy in the past, so yeah, it's cyclical and kind of messy.
