I think its kind of a product of ...I've been here. I think its kind of a product of the age you're at and might last until well into your 30s. I was talking to my husband about it and we were both settled into marriages, had decent money. Did things like go on vacation and still felt like there was something vital missing in our lives. You're at that point where you're no longer young, not the way you can be when you're 22. Yet if you told a 30 something that you felt old and tired and bored they'd laugh, right?<BR/><BR/>It didn't fall into place for me until I was in my divorce and finally doing things for myself and working at figuring out what was important to me even if it went against what others thought was the "smart" way to go. My ex was there. I could see it plainly now that I look back. He had an affair. I took pills to feel better for awhile until I figured it out. <BR/><BR/>You're at a place in your life where you're working to find yourself, and find what makes you happy as the man you are instead of what you dreamed would work when you were younger. For me it took not working so hard at thinking about what makes me happy, but feeling happy period without trying to over-think it. What makes you excited to be alive? What makes you look forward to the future? Is it a specific life path? Or is it when life gives you a little monkey wrench just to let you know you're not always in charge. And let me tell you this, don't compromise your own happiness for what you think is safe. If something does go wrong, would you rather be happy leading up to it? Or would you have rather have felt you wasted your time on something not as good so that you could try to save yourself from future unhappiness? You can't lie to yourself forever, after all. So take the bad for what it is, a stepping stone. And enjoy the good as it comes, without looking for the catch, but listen closely to your inner voice and go with it.<BR/><BR/>You'll be fine :)bowiefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556152443995995037noreply@blogger.com
