What is your passion?

I always believed that introverted people are very passionate. Others often tag them as hopeless romantics, geeks, sometimes stupid, because they seem to make impractical decisions that go against norms and mainstream thinking.

I am interested in many things- mostly, artistic. I love writing poems, especially when i feel down and frustrated. I dance (and I'm sure I could have been a good dancer if only I wasn't too scared to get into a freakin' dance class). I tried doing animation but it's a long shot and i had to focus on my studies so I stopped. Right now though, there's one particular interest that I want to pursue and it has something to do with my social phobia and depression.

I never thought before that I'd want to become a psychologist. When I started college, I didn't really know what I wanted in life, so I took business management. Why not, that's what everybody else does. Besides, that's the most practical degree program. You can apply anywhere after you graduate. The world is run by business, people say. But there was one time in my life that made me realize what I really wanted to do.

Something terrible (my own "sociophobic" definition of terrible) happened at school one day and I was so upset. I felt empty and alone. It was like sinking in a mud pit without anybody to pull you out. It's horrifying to find yourself in that situation. The fear and pain is overwhelming that any struggle seems futile. But right then, I realized that it's not likely that I'm the only person going through that hell. I took some comfort in that thought. But it also gave some me sense of responsibility. The responsibility to be that person who pulls them out of the pit. So after I've earned enough money, i'll get a master's degree or a double degree in psychology. And nothing can stop me (unless of course i die before it happens). :D

Well, I'm sure nothing will stop you if that's what you want to do! :) Good luck to you.

I don't have any 'ambitions' right now. I always feel like I'm not good enough when I start to have ideas for what I want to do, haha, but perhaps one day... for now I'm passionate about myths, and fantasy worlds. Bad as some of it sounds, I can be at the computer for hours (potentially, lol) surrounded by notes, folders and stationary, writing about cities, rivers, kings and queens, heroes, weapons and armours, deserts, and then I draw them all. I think I'm rubbish at drawing, but it doesn't matter for what I do. On a good day I can think up names in an instant. My brother gave me one of them, and I get a lot of ideas just from working at the cathedral too. Just the other day I was looking at an old painting, and spotted a name that sounded just right for a queen. All of the things that I write about will come together eventually. One of the desert capitals is inspired significantly by Alexandria, Egypt, so that's another thing I sometimes do. I usually need to be at the computer, for Google Images or Wikipedia research. I haven't done much of it so far, but I like to go into detail on characters too.

I'm not sure why I do all of it. I don't have any plans for it. I've thought a few times about writing some comics, just for myself, based in a few of the cities, but I'm not sure. I have rough ideas for a few fiction tales too, but I don't have the confidence to say that I want to be a writer, or that I want to write/draw comics. It's for that reason that I don't think I'll ever do anything with it. It's just for fun, I guess - a hobby if you will. If I don't have any ideas, I put my things away until I do.

I just like reading comics too - I'm at a halt at the moment, because I'm half-way through an X-Men book and I... well, I don't like X-Men all that much, but when I finally do finish that, I've got other unread books. I read Batman, Batman & Robin, Batman: The Dark Knight, Wonder Woman, Superman, Detective Comics and Justice League each month. I like all of those, but I'm not looking to pick up any more series right now. I've done a bit of animation myself, but I sort of lost interest in it when I finished college. To be honest, that's about it. Haha.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Art and music would be my 2 biggest passions in my life. I love painting, drawing, playing the guitar. And, to an extent, writing. Oh, and I also like collecting and reading comic books. I remember writing and drawing all the time as a kid. Although, I'm have a bit of a block in terms of my creativity. Which is due to both my lack of confidence and a slight lack of interest at the moment because I'm going through a depressive episode. ::(: Hopefully it will pass, eventually. But I love losing myself in my own creativity, it's very therapeutic.

My passion was to become an artist. I like drawing but I don't even know if I can do it.

I take it you're having the same lack of confidence in your abilities as I do? You should definitely go for it, though, sillyrabbit. Even if you're just drawing doodles, at least it's get your creativity started. :)
 
My passion is an obsession. I want to understand the Universe. Ive tried to understand from different religious point of views. Now I'm all set to study from a theoretical physics point of view. Maybe after that I'll look at it from a philosophical point of view. I won't stop until it makes sense...I probably won't stop. Ill be 90 and a mature student still trying to find my answers.:D

What I'm aiming for right now is trying to separate the distractions from what's really important. I've quit playing Magic the Gathering, and reading manga. I feel that I want to be a part of something that will make society happier. The current definition of happiness is good sex, consumerism and getting wasted, but I want to that to change because I know there is an alternative. I'll start by not participating in these activities.

My passion is writing. But my stories don't make sense so nobody would understand. ::p:
