I often think that empty feeling has a lot to do with depression.
I really don’t think having a child answers any questions or problems. It’s wonderful, but it’s also really hard work. I think it’s important to be sure you’re ready. If you’re certain you want a child now, then go for it! But if you have doubts it’s probably best to wait. You’re still young; you have plenty of time, so you don’t need to rush a decision.
I find playing team sport helps me feel less empty, but I recognise that I’m a bit of a freak! There’s something really great, though, about being part of a soccer team or something like that. I like the feeling of having a common purpose, and it’s always an adventure. Winning is simply fantastic, and losing isn’t actually too bad. I love playing sport much more than watching sport, but watching can be fun.
Oh, and I also find going to plays and concerts really exciting. I went to see a performance of Wagner's Ring Cycle a few months ago (not everyone's cup of tea, I know) and I loved it! If I listen to a CD of music from the Ring I'm straight back into the memory.
