When I was younger than i am now i used to desire so much. To be loved, to be rich or famous or both. I wanted to have a career and achieve great things. None of those things seem to matter to me anymore and i cannot figure out why. I am a passionate person in my life and in my mind. It seems I've lost my mojo as such to speak. I'm no longer the hazy bubble of intangible ideas anymore. I miss that guy:( Some of the greatest things i did in my past were because of the desire to do and see new things all of the time. That too has gone! I am more than happy to sit right here at home with my dog and a friend. I don't have a love life. I don't know if this is also due to my lack of desire for anything right now. Anyone have any suggestions?

I am going through a similar phase myself. I think I have just come to appreciate the smaller things that life has to offer me. I don't think you have necessarily lost your mojo. Maybe it is just the mind's way of taking some time out to reflect back on your past and find a new meaning for your future? A time for reprioritizing your dreams and commitments and finding out exactly who you are now, and what you want to do with your life in the future. I haven't got any clear cut answers here. Just like the meaning of life these things are different for everyone. I think you just have to try and figure it out within yourself. I still try to do spontaneous things every once and a while, but I'm just more laid back than I used to be, and not so fussed about all the other stuff anymore. Just give it a bit of time.

Hi Tiamjr, Thanks for the response. That really makes alot of sense when worded like that. I'm now wandering how long i've been panicking over something so small and trivial, lol. Thanks again for posting

No problem. I think we all get a bit worried sometimes, especially over the little things. Thanks for the best response

According to me, you do not have the desire crisis. However, your desire has changed, because you have to understand the meaning of life. You only do something useful.
