Really nice article! I remember feeling much the same way when I first starting realizing things that sort of blew my ego to bits. I did struggle with this feeling of nothingness, and like you, becoming more mindful of the little things helped me develop a gratitude and enjoyment of life. These days life feels like I'm on another planet compared to before I "woke up", but still the echoes of that remind me how it's easy to fall into a dark place when that awakening happens.

Thanks again for this, it's inspiring.
