Question

I feel like I've been waiting for my life to start for years now. I'm already 28, married to my high school sweetheart, and still living with my in-laws kasi they helped us financially. My husband is a good provider, but sometimes I feel like we're just going through the motions, you know? We don't really talk about our dreams or aspirations anymore, it's all about work and family duties na. I told him already how I feel, but he just says I'm being dramatic or that I should be grateful for what we have. I love him, but I feel so unfulfilled, talaga. Is it normal to feel this way, di ba?

i was 29 and in the same place — felt like i was just waiting for life to start while folding laundry and making dinner plans on autopilot my husband was kind but we barely talked about anything real either and when i brought it up he’d say things like 'we’re blessed' or 'others have it worse' which just made me feel more alone so i started small like really small i began journaling for 5 minutes every morning just brain dump stuff no filter then i set a weekly alarm on my phone that said 'dream date' and every sunday i’d ask my husband one question about what he wanted more of in life not problems just dreams it felt awkward at first but slowly he opened up and i did too we still live with his parents but now we talk about moving out in two years and i’m taking an online course i never thought i’d go back to school but here we are life didn’t 'start' one day it kinda leaked in through the cracks when we stopped waiting for it ❤️
