Feeling feelings I've never felt...

… there is also an underlying, less specific fear - what some might call an ontological or existential anxiety - that shrouds our days and seeps into our dreams. We feel empty and seek meaning. We feel distraught and seek calmer seas. We yearn and know not what we yearn for. We can sense a future where we are free of these burdens. Where we somehow transcend past our frivolous lives that we get to lead. There is a black hole at the centre of our understanding that engulfs and crushes our every attempt to explore it. Something is missing.
