Nice! I'm 26 and thinking about doing the same thing soon. So you just took off for a year or did more things? I agree about the vividness. Once you get in flow, doing things you generally enjoy, and you have a few days/weeks of solid sleep and enjoyment, everything just makes sense. The path is clear.

What’s this path you’re talking about? Is it fasting as a means of rebooting your system?
I meant that when you get in a flow and do things you enjoy (generally on a long vacation from work), you start to realize who you really are and what you thrive on. So then, after some introspection, the path forward is a lot clearer compared to your day to day drudgery mindset. Fasting is separate, but connected. Can be a tool to help nudge this process on. IMHO.
