Does anyone actually enjoy their life?

Genuinely asking because I feel like I'm going through the motions. Work, home, sleep, repeat. I don't feel depressed exactly but I don't feel happy either. Just kind of numb most days. Is this normal? Is this just what adult life is? I'm trying to take care of myself - going to the gym, eating decent, even started meditating - but it doesn't seem to help much. Starting to wonder if something's actually wrong with me or if I'm just being dramatic.

Man, I get that grind. What helped me was picking one thing on the weekend that's just mine - for me it's firing up the grill and inviting some buddies over. Those few hours where I'm actually doing something I love, not just going through motions, made a real difference in how I felt the rest of the week.

That's real talk right there. Bedtime used to feel like the finish line for me too, but then I realized getting to bed early meant more coffee time before the kids woke up. Small shift but it gave me something to actually look forward to instead of just surviving till sleep.
