Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Plenty of what I do is pleasant enough but none of it feels like it matters, and that hollowness is wearing on me
- So much has been stripped away that I feel like a passive recipient of my own life, and I miss the feeling of making something
- Something about my life feels off and I genuinely can’t name what
- I want to feel needed in a way I can actually see
- I keep hitting my targets and checking the boxes, and it keeps leaving me weirdly hollow
