I asked myself today, What is my passion? What is a mania in my life? There has to be something that is so irrational but an incredibly irresistible motive for a belief of action. Hmmm...

I am passionate about true love. I will fight through fire to express how I believe love is so much work, and that a successful relationship is when partners have truly stripped away, everything, and exposed themselves to the other. When they compromise and trust and respect one another through all of life's darts.
I am passionate about wanting to help others.

Usually I will try to respond to the times there is just a small opportunity to help someone, but deep down, I want to change someone's life in a positive way. Writing has always been my thing, in all different forms. But what i want most, is to be able to touch others through a story I have discovered and wrote about with words, or even share my experiences to help others.

So, what are you passionate about? Is there anything that comes to mind right away? Does something come to mind but maybe you want to push it away, fear of what others may think? Maybe we all just need to really release our passion for things. Maybe if we listen and respond to that deep desire we would be happier with our lives?

Or maybe for some that desire, is a temptation, a desire that is filled with awfulness, a desire that once given in, will poison souls.
If that is the case, can it really be a passion?
