Been thinking about a piece I read (the link of which I can't find, sorry) on figuring out your purpose, or at least a purpose for a given moment in time, and, while it did include the standard "volunteer" / "shake things up" (done both), one thing it did include that the others didn't was to, paraphrased, explore old hobbies and passions. Can see that I've been doing that for awhile now: drumming, comics and action figure and antique collecting – perhaps this advice and my own exploration of it acts as a means of recognizing where I went off the path and reorienting myself to an unseen map that takes into account all the mileage accrued between then and now?
