A Passionate Life


What does it mean to live a passionate life? To wake up in the morning and know that you have a purpose? That there are things in this world that you will have an impact on?

I've been thinking about this for the past week or so. For some reason this semester I have found it very hard to find motivation for school work. In a sense I guess I am anxious for the finish line. I want to get out of school and go! Travel. Now! Write. Now! Challenge. Now!

Besides my career plans, I've felt pulled to the thing that has always given me the most pleasure and satisfaction which is writing/playing/singing music. I suppose I would say that music is my passion (as cliche as that sounds). It is something that I have done since I was 12.

When school started this fall I let my creativity fizzle....which was in some ways a good thing. It made me focus on work and complete tasks with little thought. Basically I made my days a routine and ignored my music.

Now, all that's changed I've met some people who also love music (they are MUCH better than me) and they have inspired me again. I'm writing music everyday, and suddenly having more than just pipe dreams about touring and trying to get my music out there.

I have always loved school and tried hard. Now I am just hoping that I can decide who I am and what I am supposed to be doing without leaving either of my passions behind.



If you would like to listen to some of my music you can go to my music website....most of it's a year or two old, but I am going to be posting more soon...
