Poll of the Day > I feel like I have nothing going on in my life...

(+) Yeah! (+)

But then Im like...

Well I have a good job, play games, hang out with friends, am in a long term relationship, am in decent shape, used to travel locally a good amount and likely will again. I objectively have a good life.

But it just feels like theres something big missing invalidating the rest and idk what it is. Just not really fulfilled.

You could look into working on your mindfulness and being present in the moment. It might help.

Same, except the good job, long term relationship, and decent shape.

Same. Only no job, no friends and for sure no relationship..... this sounds like a brag topic.

But seriously, it sounds like you're beginning a quarter-life crisis. You've hit a point in your life where you've found a continuous trajectory and you're wondering, "Is there all there is?"

I'd suggest maybe finding new hobbies, learning new skills/subjects, and generally trying new things. However, assuming you do marry and have kids in a few years, a lot of those introspective questions are going to go out of your head.

Maybe, I dont know what to venture into. I feel like Ive tried a lot of things when I had more free time and the general learning process is feeling samey. Id like a social cooperative hobby other than board games, that would probably help me out. Maybe basketball.

I dont know if I will, it seems odd to be married and have a kid, but also its happening to everyone around me.

I could. Ive seen some of it and generally disliked what Ive seen, but I may always feel different about it when approaching it a new way.

How do you feel about art?

Playing music or writing always makes me feel better, even if it's something shitty that no one will ever hear/read

The thing I always wonder when someone says You need Jesus is Yeah, but does he need me? He must have a lot of oddballs just like me by now.

Doesn't help much now but once covid is better traveling can be very fulfilling
