There is so much out there to know and experience and it makes me sad to realise that there is no way that I'm going to be able to do everything.
I've a history of every couple of years diving deep into an interest. Woodwork was a thing for a few years, then wood turning. Gardening has come and gone a few times.
We spend a lot of time travelling and seeing new areas, slowly in a caravan, we never get to see it all.
Recently I've started running a Dungeons and Dragons game for a couple of my kids and their friends, there can be a lot more depth to that than you may think.
I've got to agree with you that you start to see a lot more things that you are familiar with. This is not really surprising if you are staying in the same environment.
Cycles of initiatives at work seem to come back every 5 or 6 years and they always ignore the same problems... sigh. There is truth in the idea that history repeats and the more things change the more they stay the same.
My suggestion for dealing with the feeling that nothing is new is much the same as everybody. If your world is getting boring and feels like everything is just on repeat, just change your world. Even if that means you are stepping into the unknown or you are taking risks, you are still going to change your experience.
