I was once very goal oriented. Now don't care. Seems pointless. My mood is fine. I just really don't even know what try for anymore. Everything I longed for in life never turned out how I hoped. I guess I'm just greatly disappointed.

Yep sometimes it's hard to find out what you want to to because we sometimes link in too much of what we should be doing? Once you can separate the two then it's easy decide what you want to do. Good luck!

I've been feeling the same way. And yesterday I thought about it and came to the conclusion that I feel that way because I'm over 50 now.

When I feel like that I try to focus on the little things that make me happy, then I work on the small things i have control over. It what I try to do. On my good days 💖😁

My dream of home ownership now makes me sad. I have no family. No need for a home. Apartment living is just fine. I guess I should change my goal to trips I would like to take.

I have a great job I really like. I earned a degree. I like nice cars. Guess I can figure out a car I want to aspire to own and work toward that. Those are dreams I have never achieved. I did own my dream house once. Ex's family made sure I got no money from the sale of it. People love stealing from me.

Guess I need to really learn how to enjoy life alone.

I like not having any goals. I never knew what I wanted out of life. I just did what seemed like taking the next step in front of me, and I did what society expects of us.

I've dreamed of doing and being so many different things! But I never made any of that happen. I'm just a go-along person. I'm ok with that.

You must have a good job. No one steals from those who gave nothing to give. 😉. Also from your post you seem like a kind person. There are a lot of greedy people out there. I like your goals. 👏

What are the reasons for your disappointment?

Good question. Too deep to answer. I may think on it and resolve it within myself.

Starting to recover essentially.

My health is finally improving. In many ways.

I want to join a fitness center when I am fully healed so I can get back to swimming and general exercise.

Now I want a place where I can have a dog or two. A home or townhouse. Be able to have a small garden, plant trees maybe, flowers, etc.

I do desire a companion.

I still like the travel idea but not so much the car one.
