I don't really struggle with the 'm' meaning aspect in terms of wondering if my life has meaning. I struggle with the emptiness in my life, and my seeming to be unable to fill it with anything. If I'd get up and get out more, like I did this past week, it wouldn't seem so empty. But the majority of days I lack the motivation to get myself ready and find something to go out to do. I used to be involved in meetup.com groups a lot, going to an event or two each week. But the color of such events has changed. They're more purely social than they used to be, and I'm rather shy. I used to go to book clubs, but I haven't had the interest in reading this past year. If I could get myself to just do things, I wouldn't stress over whether what I was doing is meaningful or not. I stress about the fact that I'm doing so little these days.
Jor, do you mind me asking, are you in school? (for some reason I thought you were.). Do you work? Are you close with family members at all? You sound awfully lonely. [emoji45]
