Passion
This past weekend, I talked with my cool aunt Cyndi about careers and life and she told me I have to find my passion, something that I love doing everyday. Same ol’ shit that I’ve heard from others before, right, but I never really thought about it until today, funnily enough during a marathon of Project Runway.
I’m not a very emotional person, definitely not a crier, but it seems like it’s all these people do on reality TV shows. For the most part, I think it’s because they’re a bunch of drama queens, but when it comes to talent competitions (actual talent, like singing or designing), it seems real, you know? Like their world would completely fall apart if they hit a bum note, or if their garment shows the least sign of an uneven hem. And I got to thinking, is there a profession out there that would ever make me cry if I couldn’t do it? Or not doing it would cause me physical and emotional anguish?
And I kept thinking and thinking and thinking and kept drawing a blank.
What happens if I never find the answer?
