I'm not talking about romantic love but at what age did you discover something that would become a life long interest and maybe even a career?
Before I started school I was fascinated by the night sky, those wee bright dots up there. Before long I learned it was call astronomy and it became a passion. My aunt got me a telescope for Christmas when I was eleven, no table top wee thing it was taller than me with all the kit to inspire a pro (equatorial mount). Viewing the planets and the Moon was breathtaking.
I studied astronomy at university but never worked in that field. I don't even have a telescope anymore but still spend time just watching the night sky, go somewhere that has no light pollution it will amaze you.
Anyways, what did it for you what was your first love?
Like you I was also fascinated by the small dots up in the sky. Still fascinated today but different. Now I question everything in life. Are we alone or are we not alone? No answer would satisfy me enough so i keep digging to find meaning in life even if there is none. What would be more scary, being alone in the universe or being not alone?!
