I know my answer conflicts with the others at this point, but no-one can tell you how to be happy, you have to find it for yourself- if you like sewing or reading, do that. If you like shopping or watching TV, do that as well! It's all up to you (:
If you think you feel empty because you have no aims or goals, set yourself something little each day, like finishing something you've been working on or bake cookies for a friend. Eventually you might find a little routine that stops you feeling empty and cheers you up too (:
