There have been times where to fill the voidâ„¢ that I just work and do everything to not focus on the glaring obvious of an empty house - well empty plus a cat and a dog, but void of a humans touch other than mine.
I won't lie, it doesn't go away but! You can learn to live with it. Be sporadic with it; you want to go out at 2 in the morning when everyone is asleep, make the time and do it. You want to try something new, make plans with yourself and do it. Its takes a minute to figure out that doing things for you at your own accord can be just as fulfilling as doing them with others -sometimes-
Im a big fan of loosing time then gaining it back which is more or less, do things on a schedule (work/job) then when thats done derail everything and just set free, and not be guilty for 'wasteing time'. Its yours and no one elses while you're alone, you can always make it back up later.
