I feel empty.

I feel empty inside. And that doesn't mean I am unhappy. Just bored, generally, with life. I get very good grades while putting little effort into it. I like reading, and do it quickly and efficiently, but I am not like my girlfriend who loves to read. I don't need to. I've never had a feeling of real exultation in my life, apart from my relationship with my fiancee. Otherwise, I've just always flowed along - not that I lead a dull life, but it just doesn't interest me in the least. I'm an MA student, and I like what I study, but I could do something else and not feel that bad about it, either. Life is synonimous with ennui for me - studies, work, leisure... I can't seem to feel excited about anything, or eager to do anything either. It's like being in an isolation cell within my own body. I'm sorry if I don't express the feeling well, but it is difficult to do. And I'm not depressed about it either - I don't care enough about life to feel bad about it, and I would never think of suicide, because it's just not worth the trouble.

Empty -

Here's a thought. Perhaps you are lacking "challenge" in that everything seems so easy for you. There are many people in this world who have way too much challenge and who could benefit from your "excess capacity."

Suppose you determined to use your skill (whatever subject the MA is in) to help these folks? For example, if your MA was in cinema, you might consider making a documentary on some problem that requires attention. I think you would quickly have plenty of challenge finding funding, arranging travel to some grim corner of the earth, etc. In short, try getting outside yourself and digging DEEP into someone else's problems.

Good luck, but be careful...could change your whole life!

I am writing a book about the empty feeling I feel we all experience. I would love to talk with anyone interested in this subject to test my solution.

Thanks

Lol, I like the way Yoda guesses the guy is doing an MA in film as the basis for the rest of his post. What if he isn't? There's goes your advice! What a fucking dumbarse.
