You ever get that feeling, like, when something you’ve been dreading forever finally happens and then… it’s just over? Not good, not bad, just *over*? My sister, she moved into supported living last Tuesday. I was there, like, for the whole thing, helping her put her unicorn blanket on her new bed, making sure her meds were all lined up in the little organizer. And I was expecting to feel… something. Relieved? Guilty? Sad? But it was just… quiet. And then I got home, and my room, her room, the whole house, it was just… quiet. My dad just kept doing his crossword, my mom was staring at her tablet, and I just sat there. And then I realized I had nothing to do. No more going to her appointments, no more picking up her special food, no more checking in every few hours. It was like I’d just been fired from a job I hated but also, like, it was my whole identity? And now it’s just me and all this… *time*. Seriously, I looked at my planner, and where all the little notes used to be, all the "call social worker" or "sister's physical therapy" or "pharmacy run," it’s just blank. BLANK. I used to complain, you know, about not having enough time for my psych classes, for that stupid group project on operant conditioning that I’m still behind on. And now I have it. I have all the time in the world, and I just… scroll. I’ve watched every single YouTube video about obscure medieval torture methods, I’ve reorganized my spice rack like five times, I even dusted the top of the fridge. Which, gross, by the way. And I keep thinking, what am I supposed to *do* with myself? It's like, I finally got what I thought I wanted, and now I just feel… unmoored. Like a ship with no rudder, just floating out in the ocean. I’m 22, almost 23, and I feel like I just got handed this giant empty box labeled "Your Life" and I have no idea what to put in it. My friends, they’re all doing stuff, going out, getting internships, talking about grad school. And I’m still here, still at community college, still living at home, still wondering if I should even bother applying to transfer to a four-year. Because before, it was always like, "Well, I can’t because of my sister." But now? Now there’s no "because." It’s just me. And it’s really freaking me out. Like, I’m supposed to be happy, right? I’m supposed to be free. But I just feel… lost. You ever feel that? Like you’re finally free, but you don't even know what to do with it?
