question about Allah

I recently converted to Islam. I was born a Muslim but stopped being one for a few years, and now I am again. I’m praying again, reading the Quran sometimes, and trying my best not to sin. This might sound bad, but I don’t feel connected to Allah anymore like I did when I wanted to become a Muslim again. I feel sad and empty lately, maybe cause of things going on in my personal life but I’m not sure. Of course, I still want to be a Muslim but I don’t understand why I feel like this. Does this mean Allah isn’t listening to me or He doesn’t care?
