If maybe my 'big' purpose is to be there for others. it seems no matter how I start something out, I tend to turn into a nurturer. I seem to be the one that steps in and consoles.
I wonder if this is a true calling, or if it is something I fell into. I wonder if it is a good thing or not.
And I don't have any answers.

If you feel that you neglect what YOU need to nurture others, then I don't think it's the best thing. But I do think it's a natural role for you, as you are very good at it... and it seems to come quite "gracefully" for you.
Obviously it's important to help people, and I think in some ways your family will always deserve to be put before yourself, as every family member SHOULD do that for each other. BUT, I struggled with that for myself and my friends a couple years ago - how to find the right balance between being there for them, but also taking care of me. I decided I needed to put myself first more often.
Definitely something to start evaluating and see what you come up with as to my first sentence.

For me personally, it's not a good thing. But then I've even made a career of care giving.
Are you happy in that role?
