There would be so much to say to this, but I will try to keep it concise:
Over the years, I have learned how to accept different levels of "engagement interest". Don't get me wrong, I never hated what I am doing, but there are times - sometimes months - where I am happy to get up after work on Friday and don't look at a computer for the whole weekend. But eventually I find myself exploring a new idea, framework or approach until late at night and find myself having to manage work, open-source contributions and side-projects next to each other.
I guess what I am saying is: life is cyclical. If you find yourself more drawn to family and friends, seek outdoor adventures or go about hobbies, then you should follow that impulse. If webdev is your devotion, you will find back automatically when the time is right.
