I often heard people saying it, writing and singing songs
about it and talking about it but I never actually knew what it actually meant,
until recently, when I experienced this empty feeling myself. Now I kind of know what
these people meant when they said they felt empty. But the thing is, even after
experiencing this feeling I still cannot explain it or put it into words. I think
it’s the absence of emotions in the heart, like nothing makes you feel happy or
excited or sad or depressed or fearful anymore. Everything that was previously
charming has lost its charm. You don’t have anything to look forward to
anymore. Or maybe, it means that the one experiencing empty feeling has become
numb to all these feelings. Perhaps the person has become so hopeless that he
cannot find happiness or excitement in anything and has become so immune to
pain and distress that these feelings don’t affect the person anymore. Or
perhaps it means something else. Whatever the explanation of this might be, I am
quite certain of one thing, at least for now, that emptiness is a kind of
confusing feeling but it is better than depression
