Learn English – A word for ‘something more’ or ‘missing from life’

phrase-requestssingle-word-requests

I am trying to think of a word, or phrase to describe this feeling. There is something more to my life, something meaning to happen or occur, and I don't know what it is. There is an anticipation of some sort, but I feel like I am always waiting. Everything is insignificant compared to what will happen. It may be a single event or something that changes everything. I'm not sure and I don't know a proper way to describe my wait for it. Thank you.

"Longing" refers to almost exactly what you're talking about. Having a longing is probably described by the adjective "wistful." To have a longing is to "yearn." Those are the only three I could think of. I hope this helped in any manner.
