I Crave For Some Change In Life..

This is exactly how I felt until lately, after I resigned my job in India, left behind family & close friends and moved to a different Country.

With nothing very productive (okay, productivity is subjective and I have my own thoughts on that!) to do and no one, outside family, to meaningfully connect to on a deeper friendship level in the new country, I started feeling pretty depressed.

Exactly like you, I craved for something, which I don't know what. But, I knew "how" it must look like. I wanted to do something, which challenges me & gives me contentment at the same time, helps me discover my strengths & progresses me. Alongside this, I think I also missed basic friendly associations in this new country.

Regarding the midlife thing, I don't know much about this but, I feel that's the age you should be busy maintaining/enjoying friendships already formed previously and that age is not very favourable for "making" new ones.

If your situation is like mine, I think it has more to do with living abroad and trouble finding people who match with your wavelength. Further, if you are a reserved person like me, girl, I understand your predicament in connecting to people, with our without wavelength!

As regards the solution part, I am currently focussed on advancing myself professionally and I feel much better. I have fed my idle mind with a goal, with a challenge and a full-time job of figuring out the where, how, when and why-not 's. My mind is currently occupied with those and has stopped bugging me.

Sometimes, we don't realise that we are "made" for bigger things. You are equipped to do more than what you are currently doing. Craving more is your mind's way of telling, you have untapped potential inside of you. You have to figure-out how you can utilise it in a way you feel productive.
