I live for music and films and all the great books I haven't read yet. I live to enjoy time with my kids and family and friends...and sometimes not to enjoy it (and that's okay, too!). I live to experience everything that is ahead of me - good, bad or indifferent.
I know the feeling you speak of though, cacti, and experience sometimes seems very flat and meaningless. But this apathetic feeling usually passes. Try not to put too much emphasis on it or try to make yourself come out of it because you will never succeed. Let it be, treat yourself and allow it to pass. It is completely normal.
