FWIW also : People tend to go charging into pursuit of what they LOVE with guns blazing, only to find that their passion cools after years of doing it. A guy I know (for one of many examples) was dedicated to teaching highschool-age crooks in lockup. It was a mission with him . . . 'til it stopped being a mission after a while and he realized it was just a job, and the bottom line was how many hours for how many dollars.
I pursued being a classical violinist with singleminded focus. Wanted that from little on up, and wouldn't hear of anything else. Got to be pretty good at it, if I do say so myself.
My second season in a full-time symphony orchestra, we were playing Beethoven's Ninth. During the second movement, the violins lay out during the Trio. I remember using that long rest to sneak a peek at my watch, thinking "I hope this is over by 9:30 because I could really go for a pizza from Ziggy's, and they stop taking orders at 9:45."
That's when the light came on and the little voice in my head said "Welcome to the rest of your life, kid." After a few more of those I ended up out of music entirely.
I still love classical music -- maybe too much. But I'm thankful to a benevolent providence that I got out when I did.

Been there a 1,000 times, Yak, and probably have a 1,000 more ahead of me.
Passions and interests ebb and flow like the rest of life. Sometime the right decision of today is the wrong one for tomorrow. So long as no one has a gun to your head, eff it--you're free (if not considered a little fickle). Follow-through and approaching it the best way you can is about the only way to not feel like a sh*thead if you suddenly wake up and say, "What the hell am I doing?"
(...at least I did the best I could...)
Meh.
