Emily Dickinson wrote "Pain has an element of blank; it cannot recollect when it began or if there were a day when it was not. It has no future but itself, its infinite realms contain its past enlightened to perceive new elements of pain."
There's no feeling of emptiness for me closer to that feeling I get when I'm realizing that an era of my life has ended and I'm being forced into change. I love change but only when it's on my terms in my control. Then after a while you have the element of blank; where you're in transition and you can look back on things without having the hurt/anger/sadness that originally came with the pain. It's now just blank.
An era officially ended today for me.
