Gilda,
The situation you're in is one which a lot of other people have had to deal with when they've come to the fruitation of their 'Great American Dream'. You have a job, money, religion, security, family...all these things. And yet, to just live day to day as a cog in the system is not enough for you.
I suggest you do something about it. Find a way to travel and see the world and to do meaningful things. Last year, my Mother went on a church sponsored trip to Malawai, Africa with another congregation member for 2 weeks and the experience changed her forever.
Go to Tibet, go to Nepal, go see Mount Everest. Go see the Taj Mahal in India. Take a trip to Europe, to Japan. Break out of the bubble and go on an adventure--you've grown as much as you can in the current bubble you're in. Nothing says you have to stay there, if you're not happy.
These kinds of 'adventures' are not something that only 'other people' do. If you can dare yourself to have the courage to embark upon such a challenge, you will find in the end you will have gained wisdom, experience, and friendships in capacity you didn't even know existed. You will also find a new inner peace and confidence because you dared to do something extraordinary and you not only did it, but you enjoyed it every step of the way.
That's what I did at 19 years old wanting to get out of College and not wanting to take a semester off. I went to Japan. Trust me, it works =)
