Ignition?
What am I really passionate about? Really?
I'm now 27 years old, I have an MD and a perpetually starting writing career. I have vague pretensions of wanting to get back into the research gig, maybe start working in behavioural neurology and stuff, but I can't decide whether that's the right thing, whether I should go for the stroke career, or just go to be a community neurologist someday.
But am I passionate about it? And what about all the other things that matter so much - Mary and my family and my friends?
Here's the thing - statistically, I've used up somewhere between a quarter and a third of my life, and I feel like I've got a bunch of good stuff to build on, but my life hasn't ignited yet. I don't know what I'm passionate about as opposed to just interested in.
I guess this is normal. And boo hoo, poor me for feeling this way at 27. But it won't go away, this feeling that I haven't really gotten started on the big 'to do' list.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, by the way! You guys rock.
