#NYTIMES LANGUISHING FULL#

Have you been feeling like there is nothing to look forward to? Do you have little motivation to do the things that get you through the day? Feeling aimless? You’re not unhappy, but not jumping for joy every day, but just feeling a little blah? Well, I’m here to tell you that so am I!I have talked to multiple friends experiencing the same feelings, but I couldn’t find a word for what we were experiencing.
