I am not too sure if this is right forum to bring this up...but let me ask it anyway..

Does it ever happen to anyone of you that suddenly you feel drained of a purpose... be it short term or long term?

Does it happen that you wake-up everyday, come to work, go back home, spend time with husband...all fits in perfectly like a well planned puzzle but still you feel that your entire mind is 'Still' (not blank mind you..just still), that something is really missing?
You are content...but not really content at the same time?

I am feeling so...I dont know what to expect of me. (But I am still the same old women who, like always reads books, cooks for her husband etc etc...)Is this a passing phase?

You should make it a passing phase. What would you like to change?

I would like to change the fact that I dont have a purpose in life right now (which makes me wonder if I ever had).

I just live. Is this all there is to my existance?

It's all a routine. When I start feeling like this (almost everyday) I think happy thoughts.
Actually I planned out a vacation for the wife and I away from the kids. Some time out with your SO is sometimes good.

I hope its just the routine which is the root cause of this "empty" feeling. Vacation sounds good.

Can happiness be felt with/without a need for it? I mean, I am happy but I am still not.

Good God! I cant believe what i am saying...Maybe I just need a break from the routine.

You need to figure out what you like to do and what truly makes you happy. Get involved in different activities (like dance ) and find your niche. You can be happy in your marriage with your husband but ultimately you need to find something separate and apart from him that makes you happy.

Wow...I never thought I should actually "seek" something. I thought ..I thought that "thoughts/ideas" should come naturally and they did in the past.

Looks like mind changes, just like seasons.

If you want change you have to seek it. It's better than the kind of change that might come seeking you! You want to have some control over your destiny - not the other way around.

Good point Twinkle Toes. I guess you are right.

Do you seek change yourself or felt the need to?
