Passion

People say that you should follow your passion and good things will come. That you should do what you love for work and your life will be better.

I have found by watching others that if you do what you love for work you may end up hating it. There has to be other passions that don’t have to do with work. We all need things that refresh us.

For me surfing and belly dancing are just those. They build me up and they help me face the rest of what I have to do. Even though I work with a dear friend and I have a great time at my job, it’s still good to get outside and smell the salt air. To swim and have time to myself. If others did that they might feel better as well.

It is not good to stay in all the time and you can’t expect your friends to entertain you when all you want to do is sit and get drunk. It’s not a good thing to expect your mate or good friends to only be there to keep you from being bored. I work hard to have the kind of life that is fun to read about and just as fun to live and write about.

If I didn’t work hard at that I would be boring. Since I am not having kids my passion is my writing and what I want to leave behind in this world. For my readers, I have to get out there and live my life. Not because I have someone in my life, but just being me. On my own I should be interesting. If not what good am I?

Here’s to my passion of writing, one that I will follow till my hands can’t type anymore!
