So why am I so chill about it all? I'm also happy, relieved, and even very excited about what's around the corner.

I don't know if it applies to you, but sometimes all that stuff that people have (possessions and responsibilities) can be like chains. Pocket philosophy, perhaps, but I believe there's something to it.
You could put it like this: I don't think your average buddhist monk is unhappy.
