You feel lost because there's nothing pulling you forward, nothing meaningful enough to give your days direction. Without a purpose to pour yourself into, your energy looks for somewhere else to go, into distractions, into comfort, into temporary highs that fade as quickly as they come. It's not that you're lazy or unmotivated, you're just unaligned. You need a project, a mission, something that makes the struggle feel worth it. When you find that, short-term pleasure loses its grip, and your life begins to fill with meaning again.
