passion

I am so stuck. I have so many passions yet no time to pursue them. i want to do so many things, and this should be time it should be my time to live free and be wild. but in this day who has the time? there is so much pressure, and so many things to accomplish, and so much thinking about your future. childhood is a lie an illusion, childhood was lost with your innocence. i love the moments were childhood is relived and captured. passion creation and inspiration, are the things that bring me back to my truth my reality.

im not sure what im trying to say in this thread just that im stuck. passion is an amazing thing

 

wish i had the passion within me that some ppl do... passion really is an amazing thing it has the power to change the world

 

I'd much prefer having passion and being so busy that i can't realize all of them then having no passion and all the time in the world to sit around dying.

 

yes, it sucks to be passionless.

 

You have all the time in the world to do the things you want.

It is just choosing what you want to do next

 

That is without a doubt one of the best photos I've ever seen. And I'm pretty passionate about photos.

 

Mel Gibson inspires lots of passion in me.

 

Perhaps you need to re-evaluate the way you live your life?

Life revolving around passion is a great life to live!

My "passions" were more OCD than anything else, after a re-evaluation I've seen the light and am re-ordering things as required... difficult, yes, impossible, almost, worth it, yup!

 

oh im not saying i dont have passion i have so many passions way too many passions, but i dont have any time to pursue them, and i wish i could change the way i lived my life. maybe i can.

 

You can!

 

We all can, its just a decision away

 

I had the same exact feelings a year or 2 ago...too many passions, too many things i feel that i'll be great at...but as time goes by your choices will be narrowed down as you grow up and face more reality and realize what your real passion is and what you want to do with life.

 

I have many passions but don't feel talented at any of them

If they are real passions, the time will be there. True passions don't leave you alone until you pursue them

 

Just break free and live out your passions. It is worth it, you have plenty of time, the thing is to use that time to your advantage.
Live your own life and not someone elses. Society is just a thin layer of gold wrapped around a pile of shit.

I am out of clichés now, but I suppose you get the point.

 

I fail to see the layer of gold in society. If anything the gold is buried in the shit... shit we must eat for it to be stripped away.

 

Gold = greed / materialism and all those kind of euphorisms.

 

ah hah

makes better sense now.

 

i agree completely

i'm stuck right now with nothing but time to pursue a passion, but i have lost all passion for anything

 

You're 16. Are you serious? No time? Do you have a handful of kids, an overdue carpayment, and two full time jobs?

If not than stop fucking whining and learn how to budget your time. If you do, then you already fucked up your life and your passion better be figuring out how to get your kids to not fuck up as quickly as you did. All hypothetical, of course.

 

Verbally flogging people almost never works. It didn't work when I was 16 and I'd wager it's not going to work now.

The handful of kids, overdue car payment, and two jobs argument, while valid, isn't going to register until she actually experiences them. When I was 16 I was a complaining pain in the ass bereft of any real perspective but endlessly complaining about being put upon by chores, curfews, and scholastic expectations- you know, the usual meat and potatoes of the teen angst of my time. I can't begin to count the times that a measure of adult perspective and wisdom was offered but it all was repressive noise to me- created by bossy old farts who were completely unable to acknowledge that I knew everything.

The thing is- I see 14, 15, 16 year olds today that have a better grip on reality than I had in my early twenties. There's no way in hell I can even pretend to know what they're going through.
