Man, I’ve been there. I was 45, had a decent job, kids doing fine, nothing bad happening—but I felt completely adrift, like life had somehow outpaced me. What helped me wasn’t some big epiphany. It was just… slowing down. I started walking alone at night—no music, no podcast, just me and my thoughts. Then I picked up an old book I used to love. That led to journaling a little, and before I knew it, I started to feel grounded again. You don’t have to fix everything overnight. Just reconnect with what feels like you—even if it’s something small.
