Throughout my life, I've had friends that are very passionate about things. Hockey, Fashion, Disney, Actors, and many more. Until the other day, I hadn't noticed the pattern, but it's all become very clear as of late. I needed to find something to be truly passionate about. Throughout my life I've gone through different phases of interests.
I started with Dance and Cheerleading and Piano, then we moved and I tried Swimming and Band and then we moved again and I tried Water Polo and then I left for college and it was all I could do to keep my head above water. I didn't have any hobbies or things to do for fun besides Netflix and chill. I loved to bake but that was obvious by my waistline. I liked to read but just couldn't find the time or books I wanted. I was stuck and have been for awhile. Until recently.
A few months ago, I moved in with my in-laws and, besides my baby girl, I wanted to find things to keep myself busy. I was not just going to sit in my room all day and watch Netflix and take care of my little one. That. was. not. going. to. happen.And then it did. I fell into the rut of "man, I live with my in-laws and I have no talents so I'm just going to sit here and do nothing." Now, I know that's not the case, believe me I do, but it felt like that for a little while. But one day, I woke up and was like, "I'm going to do things today." I played the piano for a few hours that day and I wrote a blog post. It had a snowball effect: I just learned how to crochet and am planning on doing lots of projects. Every day is now better and better and I love all the new things I am learning! I feel a sense of purpose for getting up everyday.
How about you? What are your passions and interests? What do you do for fun?
