Question about English (US)
What does She no longer felt like she had to find sole fulfillment as some imaginary perfect daughter or sister or partner or wife or mother or employee or anything other than a human being, orbiting her own purpose, and answerable to herself mean?
What does She no longer felt like she had to find sole fulfillment as some imaginary perfect daughter or sister or partner or wife or mother or employee or anything other than a human being, orbiting her own purpose, and answerable to herself mean?
I've been reading Midnight Library these days, and this is a sentence that I don't really get. Specifically, the latter half of this sentence that says "orbiting her own purpose, and answerable to herself" is difficult for me to grasp the meaning. Could anyone elaborate it for me?

“Orbit” is used to describe the way planets circle around each other.
Saying you are orbiting your own purpose means that your focus is on yourself.
“Answering to yourself” means that you decide what is right or wrong without anyone else’s help.
She is tired of her life being about how other people see her. So she is deciding that she will only care about herself and will be the judge of her own life.
