What are 5 passions you have?

The Passions in my life:

1. I am very passionate about my family of friends mental stability. I tend to be the mom of our group, which works out I guess because there is nothing scarier than a mama bear protecting her cubs, which is how I'm told I am with my friends.

2. I love my baby brother more than anything in my life. I would do anything for him, and anyone who hurts him will be seeing me soon thereafter.

3. My music. I don't do it nearly as often as I want to any more, and I really want to get back into it, because I know my vocal cords are slowly getting worse from mistreatment and disuse.

4. My writing. Again, another thing that I have let slip by the wayside because life got in the way. I work 44 hours a week, at a job that mentally drains me with the amount of people who are worthless in the world. You would think that it would inspire me to do better, but instead I find myself wanting to help get them out of their rut if they aren't already too far trapped.

5. My painting, well.... art in general really. Uggg the more I think about it, the more I realize that I have turned away from a good portion of the things I am passionate about in the past few years since college. In college, I was singing, I was painting, I was writing, I wasn't sleeping, but I was happy and I was doing what I loved. I feel like I need to get back to that. Maybe I will start a third shift job for extra cash, and start saving up to go back.

Dream Job

If I could have any job, I would love to be a writer. Not a journalist, but someone who writes novels for a living. I would love to be able to sit and write all the time. Unfortunately I know that isn't fiscally responsible, and I need to work on my confidence quite a bit more before I even send anything anywhere to be looked at, but still. It is a passion that I have been straying from as my day job exhausts my spirit more often than not.

I've wanted to write almost as long as I've wanted to be a singer. Go figure: my 2 dream jobs are jobs that I would need to open myself up to the world and work on my confidence for. I never noticed that before. Huh. Learn something new every day.
