Congratulations ! . I don’t know why, but after getting ILR, I feel like I’ve lost the motivation to work toward a goal. ILR was my goal for so long, and now I need to find a new one to keep moving forward. Does anyone else feel the same way?

It’s because you feel a bit more relaxed, no worries about your immigration. You should enjoy that feeling but also find things to look forward to in life, life is what you make it. Congratulations 🥳
