The part of my role-playing experience that fulfills me the most is the interaction and the inspirations that come from two minds. The possibilities that can come  from this and also two characters interacting with them as everything just comes together as a whole. 
When something resonates with people it is in fact a feel good moment for me in the mind and heart.

I have taken a break from roleplaying but I don't think I should have from a results standpoint, one could ask questions on if you're at the story point or not since it is a roleplayer kind of decision as another person sharing the same thing is on that level of “Yes!” or “Glad there is someone out there with the same interest.” I roleplay for the inspire and interest feel, more on the accomplishment level of the same interests when I started roleplaying.
