I felt that in my 20s. It was really depressing. I had no goals for myself because what was the point? Nothing was going to happen if I didn't meet my own goals. Nothing was goign to happen if I didn't work towards something. I'm terrible at pushing myself. So basically, I did nothing because I didn't HAVE to do anything, and I didn't have any drive and ambition to do anything either. Some people KNEW they wanted to enter a certain career field. I didn't. I was really depressed.

I learned after awhile that I only did things when I HAD to, such as when I was helping someone because I agreed to it. So life got better after I had children because I HAD to take care of them. I certainly didn't have children thinking they would cure my aimlessless in life; I just wanted a family. But it turned out that I'm very happy and content with my life now because I HAVE to do things.
