RE: More people should talk about what they’re passionate about.

So recently a friend of mine posted a post on tumblr about passion and being passionate about things in life. It struck me deep, like it should. That whole night, morning, whatever you want to call it, I couldn't stop thinking about it. 

Later on, he posted a longer post about what he was passionate about and said that he would like us to write something similar. I knew immediately what that I was going to write something. I just need sometime to think about it. 

After about a day now, I have thought about it. So here it goes…

I'm passionate about the lives of others. Weird I know, but I've had a normal life with lots of ups and downs, and I have always been a social kid. I've always had friends and I have always been the friend that people have come to, to talk about things. Things such as problems, or in need of advice. Every time, I always, and I mean ALWAYS listen. I have always helped to the best of my ability.

I have struggled with depression and have tried committing suicide. It's in those final moments when you are about to do it, that you remember about the lives you will be missing and seeing where they go in the future. Those people that will have problems and will need someone to talk to. 

I am passionate about photography. God damn if only my camera didn't get stolen. I love the shit out of photography and I love making art, and making things beautiful. I love creating. Whenever I'm in a funk, I would grab my camera, call a friend and say, 'Hey, let's go create something beautiful. I need to right now.'

I am passionate about love, even if I haven't found it. I am passionate that there is love in the world and that people will find someone, even if it is in their mid 40s and they have been married before.

I am passionate about drag. I don't do it enough, but I am. I love getting dressed up into someone I'm not and being someone new that people love and want to be around. I like to bring joy into someones life by being something completely different that what I'm actually am.

I am passionate about poetry, writing, and getting your feelings out there to the world for others to see that, yeah there is someone going through something that I'm going through.

So now it's your turn. What are you passionate about?
