The challenging quandary of direction and purpose.

It feels a little odd to be at this age, a little unsure what my next best steps should be, feeling like there is a great deal of potential and opportunity to take a hold of and not really sensing the clearest path to take. I have been so invested and focused on my work over the last few or so years that I had taken a much more myopic perspective of anything outside of the cocoon of said work. I definitely felt like I had found my place and also had an accompanying feeling that it would essentially carry me long into the future in a somewhat consistent form despite the underlying core being a somewhat irregular, fickle thing to begin with. Therein dwelt the seeds of my new perspective and the need for new direction... the challenge I now contemplate. So much to consider. So much to carve away. So much to dream about.
