Is it normal to feel empty?

I always seem to come back to this empty feeling...
I'm happily going to college full time, working full time, making decent money, my own apartment, family close by, a decent amount of acquantices(although I don't hang out too much outside of work and school), outgoing, attractive, living my life. For some unknown reason there are times that I come back to this empty feeling, like I have nothing... sometimes I don't know what to do with myself. It's not too often, but it still happens.

I occasionally consider that I might be mildly clinically depressed. :(

    You should get a hobbie... Your life seems successful, but maybe you feel empty because you dont do enough activities devoted to yourself.
    When I used to work and study, I used to feel quite empty too, because I never had time to do anything else... and even though I was making good money and I was a good student, I couldnt even enjoy these achievements.

    meditate or try to learn your religion better (if you have one). But I think you can go back to nature, I mean like take it slow and do meditation, give to the poor, do something for humanity, health or earth, so you have new purpose in your life.

    I hope you won't be empty anymore.

    Whoa, damn, for a second I was wondering if I had written this post. I am in the exact same situation, except I am also married.
    Normal, you might want to look up dysthemia.
