I love this picture!
Of course it's hilarious but it also holds an exceptional amount of truth to it.
I feel like everyone is born with pieces missing.
I think that as we go on in life, experiences, people and places help to fill these holes.
I admire people who are passionate. I feel like it is much easier for them to fill these holes they bear.
When I meet someone who is passionate about something I looove listening to what it is they are passionate about. Have you ever actually listened to someone talk about something they passionately love? It's amazing! You get a true sense of who they actually are and you automatically like them more...
You could be passionate about zippers, but once you start telling me about why you love them and I see the joy and happiness radiating from your body I cannot help but feel infected. It's such a beautifully warm feeling too.
People who are passionate in life always seem to be happier as well because they've found a reason they believe that life is worth living for. These passions help create meaning that makes others envious and want to strive to be like them. I don't think this is bad because it helps to build the character of others -plus being passionate about something is typically a pro.
As odd as this may sound, I love listening to elderly people who are passionate.
I love thinking that someone who has been around for so long can still be so happy and excited with their life and small things in it that others may believe are unimportant.
I also enjoy listening to people who have passion for another person or animal. People especially are extremely complex and to be able to love someone so intensely and be true to that love with an honest and open heart is truly incredible. I applaud these people.
Well, I hope everyone who is searching to fill their gaping holes comes across something they feel passionately about, and hold on until they discover it.
I love this entry S.G. I agree with you on yoiur feelings.I always did love to listen to anyone's "story" especially the older folks. Now Im one of those older people and even tho my I may be slightly burned out at least I am still smoking! Hope you and yours are enjoying the weekend
