My Life Feels Empty

I spend the majority of my time working. When I'm home, I'm still working. We have a lot of land. Grass needs to be cut and collected, trees need to be trimmed, leaves need to be collected, and much more. Today I finally had some time to just sit down. I started thinking about life, and I feel like I'm going in circles. I do the same tasks over and over. I have no life outside of working. I grew up with friends, but they've all lost contact with me. Most of them moved away, as they hated living here. I know I should take more time to myself, but I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Can relate to a lot of this. Sometimes there doesn’t have to be a specific anything to fill that time for yourself. You can just be…breathe…soak in not subjecting yourself to the pulls from countless directions. Those are the moments that recharge me the most. Beautiful nothingness. But other times when I don’t want to be alone with a mind that can produce very unsavory results when it’s left unoccupied after the constant flow of stimuli it’s used to, I throw myself into a passion that I’ve had to push aside due to my needing to tend to responsibilities that couldn’t be ignored. Either way, breaths are replenished and maybe a spark of inspiration for creating a new side quest emerges in the process.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel, where I go on hikes in the woods, build shelters, and stuff like that. That stuff does pretty well on YouTube. I need to do something.

@Lykos Ah, that’s a very cool passion to share with others. There’s the imagery of beautiful settings in nature, which can captivate many, but there’s also sharing invaluable information so many could benefit from learning. Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life…or something like that.
