It feels like I have lost the love for life. I mean, not really; it's not like I'm going to commit suicide or something. But, I feel like I don't have any thrill or excitement for life. Every morning I just get out of bed, 'coz I am supposed to. But, really I don't have anything to look forward to in the day. I don't want a life like this. I want to feel inspired by something, I want to do something, to accomplish something. I feel like I am just wasting my life, not doing anything. I know all this, and still I just don't get that feeling from inside to do something, to create something. What's wrong with me?
1. Naps: I had been in sleep debt for such a long time now, and over this weekend I slept well and a lot, and I feel like I have some energy back. 2. Alone time: My roommate was busy this weekend, and I was all alone- just doing my sleeping, laundry, reading. Like I have said before , it is a recharge for me to spend some time with just myself without the need to talk or be there for others. 3. Work: Past few months were a long, painful wait to get work. I used to hate those days when I was just waiting and it made me feel so worthless. But finally, I have got it! Bonus point: the perfect location- it's a five minute walk to a beautiful park facing a lake. I have been going there every day during lunch. 4. Fights: Normally, fights aren't something people are thankful for. But sometimes they show you how people care for you or how much you mean to them, so yeah today I am thankful for few. 5. A good news: My childhood friend got engaged! Yay!...
You are *so* not alone. As far as feeling like you're wasting your life...I get that! I absolutely feel like my calling in life is to be a wife and a mother. And I haven't felt called to go to college. I'm working now, but beyond that...it's like, okay, I'll just chill out till Mr. Right comes along, and my real job begins? Yeah. I don't know. But lately, I've been feeling the exact words you've written here. But there's nothing wrong with you, dear...I think this is a stage in life that maybe all of us go through at one point or another :) So remember, you're not alone in this :)

Thanks Lauren .. Your words did make me feel better..
DeleteI can relate to this all too well. This feeling comes often, passes, and revisits. I think what helps me is to put in things---big and small---that bring more meaning. That can be a yoga class just for me, cultivating a new friendship, trying to get more writing out there, or going into a bit of social isolation. It will pass, though.
