Ever since my kids left for college, I feel like I’ve lost my purpose. My days are quieter now — too quiet sometimes. I’m proud of them, of course, but the house feels so empty it almost echoes.

For years, my life revolved around making sure they were okay. Now that they’re grown, I don’t really know who I am outside of being their mom. I tell myself this is part of life, that letting them go means I did my job right, but it still feels like I’ve been left behind.

It’s a strange mix of love and loss — missing them deeply while trying to rediscover myself. It’s going to take some time to get used to this, and I don’t know where to start.

I’m 65, and I just hope I find real joy before I die. Not the kind you have to fake, but the kind that radiates through you and touches everyone around you.�

Life has gone by so fast. I did what I was supposed to do — worked hard, took care of others, survived the hard years. But somewhere along the way, I forgot how to feel happy just to be alive.�

My friendships have ended painfully, my marriage ended, and my kids have kids of their own now. I’m not sure how to process it all.�

Still, I’m learning to slow down, to notice the small things. Maybe joy doesn’t always come in big, dramatic moments. Maybe it’s something you build quietly. I don’t know for sure — but I’m not giving up on finding it.�

Right now, I feel good — and I really mean it. I have to remember this feeling for the next time my depression takes over. It’s strange how easy it is to have good days sometimes; you feel awful for no clear reason, and then suddenly, you feel better.

When I feel like this — light, grounded, okay — I try to remember it. How beautiful the sun is, how good my coffee tastes, the quiet moments that make me smile.

I try to write them down in my journal, so when the next hard week comes, I can remember what it’s like to feel good again.

It doesn’t always work. Sometimes the dark thoughts still win. But I think it matters to keep trying — to believe that even after the worst days, peace always finds its way back.
