A role can make you useful while making your preferences difficult to see.

Roles come with a ready supply of things to do, and doing them well earns real appreciation. What they do not come with is any prompt to ask what you would want if the role were not there. After long enough, the answer to what you like can go quiet, not because it changed, but because nothing has asked for it.

Set aside a stretch of time this week that has nothing to do with what you are for. What you drift towards when nobody needs anything from you is worth writing down before it slips away again.
