Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve hit the goals I set and they feel strangely empty now, and what I quietly want is to pour what I’ve learned into someone coming up behind me
- I’ve had a handful of moments where I felt completely alive and lifted out of myself, and they’ve always seemed like luck
- What I went through cracked open everything I used to take for granted about how life works and what it’s for
- Everything that used to give my life shape suddenly feels hollow and the new thing hasn’t arrived yet, so I’m stuck in this disorienting in-between
- I can think of a few times in my life when I felt genuinely, fully alive, and I want to study what those moments had in common
