The “empty nester” mom

If anybody would have told me I would have felt this way at this point in my life, I would have rolled my eyes at them (sorry mom).

Without purpose

Depressed

Sad

What am I doing next

Drive

All of it reality when you walk into the season of being an empty nester. Who knew? I thought all these years of being a working mom (so busy I could barely breathe at times), that finally, once she went to college, I would still be young (I am) and it would all be a party from there (hello, not reality Cinderella). Little did I know that a sense of daily purpose, your little person, your constant companion (yes, remember this when you can’t go to the bathroom by yourself), would not be there to distract you during the quiet times, and the regular routine of life is still on repeat.

I know I wrote this for connection to somebody that has already been through this season (hi mom) or somebody that is getting ready to go through it.

It’s not a midlife crisis, it’s a “what the hell is next”?
