Ever since I was a child I've always questioned my purpose in life. I wish I could just live day to day - I have a nice job, nice partner, nice home, nice holidays. Yet fundamentally I feel a bit lost and always prone to thinking 'what is the point of it all?' I don't feel actively depressed, just in search of something which I haven't found yet. It seems to me that most days are exactly the same - work, home, sleep, repeat. I do have hobbies but they seem more like temporary distractions than anything purposeful iyswim? I look at the people around me and they seem to plod along and don't constantly question the meaning of it all as I do, yet I can't seem to stop. I know most people by definition seem to live fairly 'ordinary' lives, but I don't seem to feel content with the routine of it. I know I do have a nice life and ought to be grateful - I'm working on that!
What gives your life purpose/meaning? Are you content or do you feel a sense of searching as well?
