Nietzsche once said, "A man who has a why to live can endure almost any how." My "why to live" is defined through the things that give me passion. I aspire my personality to be defined by my passions. That would mean that I would live life with conviction and motivation. Above all, I would live life with all-around, all-encompassing enjoyment.
I'm passionate about:
Books: My favorite book of all-time is A Little Princess. When I think of reading books, I picture myself curled in some corner of a used book store on a grey afternoon with an entirely different world in my hands. I love philosophy, religion, politics, history, poetry, children's literature, picture books, Dr. Seuss, and psychology. Life is worth reading about. It suits my personality.
Food: It gives me great gusto.
Music: Mmm. Today I was rejecting math lessons and flipping the station on my little portable radio. I came to a classical station and just closed my eyes and played a music video in my head. There's something about the way music can define a situation. It kneads its way into my soul, I swear that it does. I like an array of things, but I lean to emo sounds, punk, alternative rock, and worship music. Favorite bands of the moment: Something Corporate, Taking Back Sunday, By the Tree, and Switchfoot.
People: It seems I live the most inside of what I see. Wherever I go, I'm watching people. I'm noticing what they look like, wondering where they've been, where they're going, and what they're thinking. It's like I have this indescribable encompassing vision for what people could be if only. Mostly, I love children. They're so precious and so malleable. The smallest action towards a child can change his or her life forever. That's powerful and I try to remember that whenever I am with them.
Nature: Every bit of the earth seems to scream "I'm the most beautiful! Look at me!" and my eyes respond by looking and seeing the beauty. It leaves me awestricken and amazed every time I stop to admire a sunset. How can the setting sun always seem more beautiful than the last time? I love the ocean, the sands, the animals, the mountains, the valleys, the flowers, the sun, the moon, the stars, the life, the existence and wonder of all of it.
God: I don't really know what to say about this passion. It seems whatever I will say will seem cliché, but maybe that's OK. God is the coolest. I don't understand and probably will never understand how someone so incredibly powerful would be so nice. I try to life my life as a response to that kindness. Try to reflect it. Try to emulate it. Try to see it and realize it and grasp its infinity. I never will be perfect, but I hope that my ultimate motivation for existing rests in seeking to bring glory to the One that gave me that existence.
