I think it’s really common for adults to get out of touch with their hobbies and then wonder why their routine isn’t filling their cup (and not to say that work and life circumstances aren’t often stressful or challenging, but having a respite from both and a way of sourcing fresh inspiration can help a lot).
Yes, it's sometimes hard to remember that we are more than just people who work / do chores. There are some things that are "valuable" because they just make us feel fulfilled.
