I’m in a similar space though I seem to have landed on a more Stoic Taoist path. I follow Shi Heng Yi on YouTube which got me interested, but I landed on Stoics simply because I find most of Buddhism to be so passive that it’s simply an excuse for navel gazing and escapism. Stoicism promotes active participation in the world and trying to make it better (while remaining unattached to results) where a lot of people practice Buddhism tend toward meditation and being personally nice while not caring what happens in the wider world.
