Passion is something that nobody should live without, but sadly some do. I recently lost, but quickly managed to regain passion. However, my passions have changed form over the years. I used to be passionate about acting, but now am passionate about writing. Although I am passionate about many things on an 'outside' level, I am mostly passionate about myself. I enjoy living my life and experiencing everything I possibly can. In years past, I could not say such a thing...it is only after growing up a bit that I have realized the potential I hold to be able to be me without worrying about anything else. While I still do worry about things, I have not been allowing it to influence the way I see myself and the world at large. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 03.19.05 (9:55 am) Reply to: cmaze Self-actualization is always beautiful. It takes many, many people I lifetime to come to that. Many never do. By remaining true to yourself, your abilities will shine through. Good for you, kiddo. j posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 03.19.05 (9:58 am) kiddo. lol. He ain't gonna like that, Miss Juni. heh heh. Passion. Could it be that when someone has a driving need for passion, fear of the opposite is driving it? That is usually the case with all driving forces if you think about it. Just wondering aloud. I often find myself with a quest for 'toning things down' - looooool. Does that make sense? Juni, I can soooo see you laying on the bed, lights off, listening to the same song over and over and over and... *shakes head and wonders about Juni's sanity... posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 03.19.05 (10:03 am) Reply to: lindy I'm surprised you feel the need to *wonder* about my sanity when the answer seems perfectly clear to me. :) As for kiddo... well, if the shoe fits. :) He knows it's meant with love. I'm practically a senior citizen. Certain songs were meant to be played over and over and over again. They become a part of our soundtracks. When the movie of my life is finally made, I really don't care who plays me, but I definitely want a hand in the score. j posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 03.19.05 (10:04 am) Reply to: lindy I'm surprised you feel the need to *wonder* about my sanity when the answer seems perfectly clear to me. :) As for kiddo... well, if the shoe fits. :) He knows it's meant with love.

Yes. If I were to compose the list of music being played for my life movie... I would consult John Cusack. We're cool like htat (well, in my dreams we are) loooooool posted by: cmaze (reply) post date: 03.20.05 (9:55 am) Reply to: lindy High Fidelity is a perfect movie and I can tell you can't wait to go to sleep... lol posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 03.20.05 (12:32 pm) Reply to: cmaze Eh? looooove 'High Fidelity' of course... and 'Being John Malkovich' and and and... Cusack reigns supreme... what's this business about wanting to go to bed? posted by: billlyryan (reply) post date: 03.20.05 (3:38 pm) Writing. Telling stories. Making the things I feel inside come out in the same way that I may feel them. There are times when I think of writing like making love. It's intense and passionate and I end up doing things with my words and emotions that I would do nowhere else. I can feel it draw me in like the best lover anyone could ever imagine. No one can touch me like that intense lover. Writing. Definitely writing. posted by: lindy (reply) post date: 03.20.05 (6:16 pm) hahaha. I just realized I didn't answer the question. And Cmaze so kindly offered up himself as what he was most passionate about. loooooool love it. love it. Isn't that kind of like defaulting to the day your kids were born when asked the best moment of your life? heh. For me, there are several passions, true passions in my life. The unrelenting, everyday 'simple' passions would be music and dancing. But they are but branches of a larger passion. When I really think about what I am passionate about, I would say 'living' - different from self, I think. I have always had a natural passion for living. And I don't think everyone has this, certainly not to the degree I am referring to. I wake up and get out of bed sometimes and clench my fist and say, 'Yessssssss. Another day.' Not always, mind you and certainly not just on days when something exciting has occurred to facilitate that feeling. I just love to get a lot of living done and suspect it won't abate any time soon. I'm going to be one of those spry, spunky old ladies who becomes endeared to everyone who crosses her path. Heh. Or I could become Mrs. Scrooge. One never knows. :) posted by: chicalookate (reply) post date: 03.21.05 (5:42 am) I think my passion has to be doing creative things. Even if I am the only one to see them I need to be creating something. Whether it be jewelry, painting, writing or baking. As much as I love movies I couldn't imagine coming home and just turning on the tv and doing nothing else. That sort of life would make me sad. I am also facinated by what other people make... movies, music, art. Ack... I could go on an on. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 03.21.05 (5:50 am) Reply to: lindy I hate to say this, but I think some of that comes with age. Not that I share the same passion for living that you seem to, but I know, the older I get, the more excited and grateful I am for each day. I remember years ago the grandmother of a friend of mine would always say, as we wished we were older or able to do the things that seemed unfairly afforded only to those with a few more years under their belt, that we should stop wishing our lives away. It wasn't until much later in life that I really understood what she meant. To that end, I envy your passion for living in general... I'm sure at the end of it all, you'll have some great stories to tell. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 03.21.05 (5:51 am) Reply to: billlyryan I share some of that same passion, I think. But for me, writing is more cathartic than like a lover. Writing helps me work through all that is bubbling inside me. I suppose, in its own way, it's like a therapy of sorts. Only far less expensive. :) Thanks for the comment. j posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 03.21.05 (5:53 am) Reply to: chicalookate Oooh! Good answer, Kate. I have never considered myself to be very good at creative things, but as I get older, I am becoming more confident in my abilities. I've recently been working on a creative project that I may share here one of these days, and heck, I suppose to a certain degree, even this blog is a creative project, so... I suppose I know what you mean. The ability to make something with your own two hands is really something indeed. Thanks for the comment! |
