How does the void go?

2 posts in this topic

You know the emptiness feeling, the void within like you are not complete without something in existence. I don't understand how to get rid of it. It feels like it is there a lot and I am seeking materialistic needs and wants but it ultimately does not cure the deep emptiness within. The sense of lack or not enough. 

I spend time seeking, facing feelings of voidness, seeking, voidness... basically repeating that cycle through my daily existence. If ultimately there is no such thing as this void then why do I feel like there is. Yes I know I am god imagining existence but reality feels so continously perpetual like I am running on a treadmill doing the exact same things every single day.

Perhaps I need to spend more time alone.. most of my time is spent distracting myself.. I don't know why... It is like I am constantly distracting myself or constantly doing the next thing and then when I get there, I want to do the next thing. 

I am like going to go for a walk on the beach and when I get there I want to go home... It is a feeling of that I am running away from something all the time. The beach is just one of many examples.

I found growing plants is very therapeutic. It can become a stressor too if you grow too many of them LOL.

Shoot enjoy it while you have it... now I have a dog 2 cats a turtle a garden a wife and three kids.

This all sounds completely normal!

The general experience of separation feels lacking. Look into that, understand that feeling....what is it!
