Guess this happens to many.
I think part of it is because I enjoy keeping live plants and gooey glue killed them off virus style. I miss seeing my creeping jenny in bloom.
The other part is I'm bored of my fish.
The kuhli loaches are much less fun without dense plant growth because they go into hiding. Hiding fish=boring fish. The bettas are no fun either when they are killing each other off. Not that I'm going to complain too much about that, it's part of their nature and I knew the risk when I got them.
Twice since I've been back from the bike trip, I've been at the shop looking for more female bettas because I had one I had to remove and I keep being temped to get new fish, just because I'm bored. Which is a stupid reason to take on new fish.
Been eying a tank at the thrift store. Funny thing is it's exactly the size I was searching high and lo for before and finally gave up on. A 30 gal high with a rodent screen. Another stupid thing...I have two tanks here with nowhere to put them. Given one does have leaking issues.
It's got some damage too, a chip on the side at the seam and part of the bottom panel trim is broken off. Rodent screen is probably a better deal then the tank. Part of me is still like OH there's a tank!!...grab it!...Special find ya know?.
Because used tanks were hard to find around here so I'd grab what came up. The sensible part of me is like nah...You bought one tank that turned into a problem leaker and you want another potential leaker?..

Theres no point in making yourself work with them, that takes all the joy out of it. A hobby really shouldnt be viewed as work.
