I sometimes think that the world would be better off without me. I don’t have any special skills. I don’t have really close friends. I have a husband who is great, but sometimes I don’t feel super in love with him. I love my kids more than anything in the world, but I can’t cook, or sew, or garden, or play piano, so what would I even teach them? They’re young and they’d get used to another mom. They wouldn’t remember me. Ever since I became a stay-at-home mom I feel so boring. I don’t blame people for not wanting to hang out with me. I exercise 3x a week, I try to be healthy, I try to find joy in serving in my church and in life. But all I feel is melancholy and loneliness. I’m not planning to do anything drastic about this. I just wanted to get it out there.
