Something that I am strongly passionate about that I couldn't stop even if I tried is singing, writing, dancing, learning, my religion, fashion and cosmetology. Although no one knows that I sing...well you know now; but I love to sing in the shower, when I cook, when I walk... I even sing myself to sleep at night. I also LOVE to write I have been writing since I could pick up a pen, I write stories of characters with crazy lives or even with perfect fairy tale lives. The lives that some of us only dream of or lives that are in our worst nightmares--whatever comes to my noggin! When reggae comes on I am unstoppable! I can dance all night If you let me...I always imagine myself on a Caribbean island dancing to the sound of the steal drums listening to calypso infused reggae; sipping out of a coconut(even though I hate coconut!) it just seems perfect that way. I love my religion also, I am still learning but it has helped me through so much and understand a ton too. I am a fashionista, I wish I had tons of money just to shop! I hope I don't sound like a typical girl but I love my clothes and purses. Cosmetology...eh I didn't go to school for it but I could tell you anything about hair or how to apply make up, guess that's why I consider it a passion of mines...a gal can't go without her make up! I learn everyday and I couldn't imagine my life without it. I love to learn about cultures and languages I think I have always been into that stuff growing up; being around such a diverse environment how could I not? Learning the native tongues of people and how they engage in conversations or learning about how countries culturally came together is the most exciting and intriguing thing in the world! I love it...
When I usually think about turning my passion into a career I think about my writing. Growing up I always knew I wanted to be a writer, that I wanted to be the one whose face was on the blurb of the book. That I would walk into class and everyone was reading the book I wrote. I was told by my parents and relatives I had to become a journalist of some sort to write books--they were wrong. I wrote my first book and published it last year. I am still making it perfect but one of my life goals is accomplished and that is what matters.
I believe that my passion for writing and being able to push myself to become such a driven artist could benefit the world. I want to be an example to every writer in the world who isn't sure if they are good enough to be successful. I want them to know that writing is an art and as long as you write to make yourself happy it will always have a purpose. Maybe I should consider opening a college or trade school specifically for writers and communicators, that will be a good way to give back to the community and enrich the minds of the youth.
A Taste Of Passion
A taste of Passion so easily shared,
With no fear or regret,
No bounds, no ties or hatred
The memories flood through my mind,
As endless as time
A taste of Passion I'll never forget
The drive, the desire for which I can't quit
A taste of Passion is like a drug,
How will I make it without it? Without the reason for being
It takes me so high,
Like I can even fly,
Needing to get another fix,
Too quick...
A taste of Passion can never lie
My taste of passion will never die!
A moment of Passion when we are alone,
You desire it too,
To hold you close, each night... through and through
Unable to control it,
And why would you even want to?
A moment of Passion shared with YOU
Bianca,
ReplyDeleteGreat poem! I really like the line "a taste of passion is like a drug". I like where you went with this. But mostly, I like the simple phrasing... "a taste of passion", but I think it most accurately explains a moment of passion - as that's how passion comes in... through moments. Pure passion - it stops you in your tracks, makes you see a path, makes you think about changes, life changes... it gives hope.
I really like your first paragraph, too, about singing and dancing - your passions of music, religion, celebration of life. That's wonderful, and it's great that recognize a deeper connection to those things.
That's gratitude.
Writing is clearly a talent of yours, and I hope that you pursue it to your desires. I would start to research and see how you can get involved in the writing and publishing community in Boston. Start to envision internships, programs, and entry level jobs.
Do you have another novel idea to work on?
If anything, just keep writing. From the joy in the tone of your posts, I can tell that writing helps set you free.
