Living for Now?

Is there a word or phrase that means the opposite of writer's block? You have the ideas and are going through the motions, but the end goal is cloudy to you and you're unsure that you really want to go anywhere for what you're doing. It is kind of how I feel in life recently and in more simpler terms, it feels like I've lost ambition for the future. It is nothing to worry about, I'm not depressed, I'm not planning to not have a future of any kind...I just don't feel like I have anything to look forward to. As depressive as that sounds, I'm really not depressed. I'm happy, very happy and a lot of stuff has been going good for me this past year. I guess I could say that I'm living in the present, enjoying my days and the people I spend them with.

This photo can illuminate a lot of what our culture does today, and I'm no stranger to this. The future is this looming fog on the horizon that I can't quite see into, and really don't want to. The past is this prowling wolf waiting to pop up to remind me of my mistakes. When we stop worrying about both of these life becomes more livable. Whatever happens in life will happen,and I'm sure that when I get there I will maybe be even happier than I am right now, but I'm more concerned with what's happening now than I am about the future. Ambition can be great, but without any you don't become lost, and in fact you may become happier with yourself in the moment. I work hard, I go to school, I am in close relationships, and while I know where I am heading in a broad sense I'm not actively excited for it all. Maybe that's my fear of change, maybe it is an actual problem, but if it is I don't feel it is so. I'm not unhappy with the path my life is taking, but the most important thing is that I'm happy now. Word hard for the future, but be sure to always live for the now.
