The Purpose-Driven Life

[mousme]

Okay, inquiring minds want to know. Inspired by a post by bodhifox, I have been thinking about what my role is in life, what my "title" would be. I can't think of one for myself. I am not Writer or Artist or Engineer or Mother or anything like that. I've never asked anyone else who or what they think I am (I think I'm a little afraid of what they might answer).

What about y'all?

I said other, because my answer would be both "Uh, maybe? Sort of?f", in that I have a pretty clear idea by now of what are the most important and meaningful things I can be doing in my life (loving, writing, making music, science educating), at least for now, and "I don't believe that each person has a single purpose", because these things are not one single thing but rather a combination that makes a full life.

Also, "purpose" in my opinion implies a subject who has meant my life to be a certain way, and I don't believe there is any such subject, not even myself.

This is really interesting! I might develop my answer here into a real entry.
