RAMBLINGS | VOL 39 | LIVING YOUR PASSION
If you've been around here for a little bit that you have heard me talk about our recent life changes. But something you may not know is that I hate transition and change, it is something that doesn't come naturally to me. Growing up we moved around quite a bit, I lived in multiple homes, states and even countries and the one thing that change has taught me is that your surroundings don't define you.
Sure I love to create a "home," decorate and feel settled into a house and friendships, but life doesn't alway work that way. I have had to realize that just because everything looks different around you, you are still the same. I still have the same passions and desires in my heart. Some of my greatest outlets are through art and dance. Both of these things require space or tools and in the past I have allowed my different life situations to become an excuse as to why I don't paint or dance, but when I do this a part of me slowly dies. Instead I realize that I don't need to make excuses, there will always be that temptation to not fully live out my passions, so I counter this by doing. When I think I don't have a place to dance I just do, in the kitchen, entryway, outside. I just dance. When I don't have the finances to paint or a place to put up my easel, I buy a notebook and some drawing pens and make a goal to create something new everyday. We all have something in our lives that we love to do, but are you making an excuse not to do it? If you are try to think of a way to adapt, is there a way to live out your passion right now? I hope so, because this is when you are truly alive :)
