Almost every day. Literally.

Did life turn out the way you hoped for or is there a nagging feeling that you are missing out on something?

My life has so far not at all turned out the way I hoped for, and that's a good thing - I think I would've been much less happy if it did. I wouldn't have had kids, for one thing.

That all the responsibilities have dragged you in direction that isnīt really you?

This I have felt, and it bugs me when I do, but sometimes you just have to shrug it off and realize that with the great things in life comes a price tag, and that's responsibility. Sometimes they do seem to pile up, though, and it can be difficult to see through that pile of ***** to do, pay for, fix, etc.

Do you sometimes feel your life, at its core, is rather empty.

No. never, and I don't think you really do, either. Sometimes I feel the opposite - that the core is so full sometimes I have to remind myself to enjoy some of the more fun and frivolous aspects of life, for example spending a lot of time at work, writing music, with the family and just saying, ok, it's time for a track day!
It sounds to me more like you feel like you're stuck in a rut. Think of it this way, you've got a great job, great kids, and a great hobby - your "core" is pretty full. Maybe you need to take some time away from work and appreciate the spoils it provides for you. Take the kids on a vacation, something like that. Make it a twice-yearly thing. Something to provide a drastic shift of environment.
