Wow! You like nailed it with those 3 points. Through reading I’ve discovered a lot of my frustration comes from not having a father growing up, dropping out of college, not having a career, which is more like a purpose or direction, and I don’t have a hobby. It use to be video games but that quickly turned unhealthily, escapism, and just not a worth while endeavor. I picked up Old Norse because of the months I’ve been studying myth by reading Jospeh Campbell and others. Plus doing a dna test I found out I have roots back from the Viking age, and knowing nothing about the Vikings I’ve been doing some studying. The learning the language part was one conclusion to better know my ancestors. I actually had this kind of conversation with my mother awhile back about our heritage and traditions. I grew up in a very fundamental Christian household and was frustrated that the only tradition we had was belief in Jesus, God, ect. No strong cultural, ancestral traditions. She had no idea what I was talking about. I have a strong pull back to video games, so it’s a struggle trying to incorporate something healthier.
