Looked it up: a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything.
What is passion really though, how do we connect with it? Is it something we think we are fascinated with and slowly let go of like an old bike or other external object we once loved and then kicked to the curb? Is passion something we desire and once we attain it, it would no longer be our desire to have it? Its like we look for passion and we indulge in it, but once we get it, it becomes old and we look for the next thing to blow our minds away. So why, why do we have something like passion, as well as other things like desire and want and love, which in a sense can all fall under the same category, but not exactly the same. Why do we throw passion away after we receive it? Or maybe I can ask why are we afraid to keep it? Why is it we are so concerned with what we don't have rather than what we do?! I am not writing this blog to answer my own questions at this point, I know what I feel inside and usually I would write out what I feel about this, but I don't want that for this particular blog, I guess I wanted to open your minds and maybe see how everyone else feels on the subject. I will, however, say this...When you are passionate about something, see it through till the end and never give up no matter what, even after you have attained what you seek, keep it lovingly, because without passion for something, what does it really mean to you? We do the things we love because they make us happy, be it riding a bike, being a parent, loving a friend or spouse, being a big brother/sister, helping someone, making a life for yourself you never thought possible, or even just appreciating your life and living it to the fullest and doing nothing. I wrote this blog with passion, even if it didn't make much sense...haha...
"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of."
