Gosh where do I begin..it's like the longest journey I have ever traveled! Following your passion; what does that really mean? I think from what I've learned over the years, it's doing what you love, and loving what you do! Unfortunately the choices in life we make can detour you from ever reaching that goal, and then when you try again....you can be opening the doors to something you were never expecting!
Yes, it is scary out there, frightening to try something that you never thought possible. Mostly because you had given up your dream! Dreams are what we live for aren't they? I know I don't want to leave this earth without making my mark and finding passion my passion! Not someones version of my passion. I know that sounds petty, maybe even selfish from some point of views, but really think about, who will even care? Not many even know you exist, yeah friends family but I want more...I want the big picture..I thought I had it, but I clearly see I never did! Sometimes we hold on to certain situations because that's all we know, whether good or bad, it's all you knew to be right. Then someone comes along, holds your hand and opens your eyes, now that's scary, seeing for the first time! I could only imagine; it would be like, being blind and suddenly one day your sight was restored....there would be so much to take in at once, you may overload and short circuit... but I am willing to find out. That's a decision I can live with, I want to live, I want to love, I want to be whole. I don't believe such things are possible without hurting someone somewhere along the line, but that responsibility I can't accept anymore. It's too much to carry around!
I think not following your passion and hearts desire, will surely kill you in the end. Death will be inevitable and you don't get a second chance at that! So, with this in mind I say let go..let go of what ever it is that holds you back, robs you, hurts you, and blinds you from the truth! A very dear friend once told me to follow my passion because I deserved it! I know I can and I will die trying.......
