I wouldn't say I identify as a wanderer, but I certainly feel like a stranger in a strange land here on earth......
I agree with your points about "knowing" whether you're a wanderer. Ultimately, what does it matter to know such a thing? Personally, if I somehow got some "confirmation", or if I all of a sudden "knew" my "origins", I would be like.... "ok....?" lol.
It helps me to remember that I am all things.... I am here on earth, in the form of a human being, and I am also an eternal being whose very nature I do not understand. Holding those two (seemingly) polar opposites in my mind without judgement is something that helps. Practically speaking, I am a human, I need social interaction, I need to eat food. I am also a spirit soul who needs to find meaning and fulfillment in things that others might not understand.
Speaking to that last sentence, I love making art. It brings me such joy. However, in today's society, it is not so easy to "just" be an artist. That is, it doesn't always pay the bills. So in that sense, I have to balance my desire to make art and also the physical reality that I need to make money too. I have to remember, making art fills my soul, while also understanding that in the physical world it can be hard to just do that. Wont stop me from keepin on though
