So my girlfriend of 4 years left me about a year ago. I've done the whole grieving process and I put my nose to the grindstone and continued to focus on school and working out and staying healthy(I had been lifting for a while, I just didn't want to slip into a slothful depression)

But now I've graduated and through co-op I landed an amazing job that pays super well.

Only now that I've done that I've realized......I have no idea what I want from my life or what I even want to do.

All my free time used to revolve around her. Going on dates, catching up on books we were both reading so we could talk and laugh about them. I'd cook big meals for her and her family so I'd plan them out in advance, shop for ingredients, spend hours cooking.

Now when I have a night off or a weekend I find myself not knowing how to make myself happy.

I mean I still enjoy those things, I like to read, I like to cook. I like to play video games from time to time. But it all feels pointless now. Like its just killing time but not actually getting me anywhere.

I feel like I need a passion, something that I can work towards and strive to improve. But I don't know what that is or how to even find it.

People always say the key to happiness is to just be following your passions and everything else will fall into place, but I don't know what I'm passionate about and I feel directionless and lost. I've even tried getting into new hobbies. Martial arts, drawing, metal working. Its all....neat....but none of it really truly excites me.

I need help because I feel like my life is just going through the motions now and nothing really brings me joy.
