The Weight of the Middle
Languishing is the neglected middle child of mental health. It isn’t the presence of a crisis, but rather the profound absence of vitality—the "blah" you feel when you look at your calendar and see nothing that sparks excitement. For decades, my life was defined by the adrenaline and community of a singular passion, but when injury and midlife forced that chapter to close, I found myself on a foggy plateau, stuck between the person I was and the person I had yet to become.
In this exploration of the "U-shaped happiness curve" and the psychological shift from stagnation to generativity, we look at why the late 40s often feel like a plateau rather than a peak. From the science of midlife dips to the quiet, painterly work of rediscovering joy, this is a story about trade-offs—trading the high-intensity victories of youth for the steady, resilient hum of a life being reconfigured. If you feel like you are merely going through the motions, know that you aren't alone, and more importantly, you aren't finished. The fog eventually lifts, but only if we are willing to step onto a new path.
