(((gentle hugs))) One of the problems with society's thinking about life is that it's often hinged upon OTHERS. Now you have the real opportunity to be you, and to do things that are for you, and not for someone else or because of them.

Everyone "needs" purpose, imo, because they are human. That you can't think of anything (from the past, what you know) to do that would be fulfilling doesn't mean there isn't anything out there.

See what new stuff is around that you have never tried, or maybe heard of? Libraries can help (cheaply, too.) Learning to enjoy being with yourself, sharing in nature, discovering new things... that is a part life that some people never get to experience, imo.
