An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

An Open Letter to Those Who Don't Know Their Passion Yet

To those who don't yet know their passion,

It will be okay. You will find it. Here I am writing all of this advice to you, yet I am hard on myself every day because I am still clueless. It's one of those things where I am surrounded by coworkers who love their jobs and are so happy with where they are at. Those closest to me have been enduring school for years because they have a dream. But, here I am, working a job that I am not in love with and not having a clue where to go next. Sure, I have hobbies but I am not sure if any of those would turn into a passion. Perhaps, we will have to see.

Passion. Something we earn for. Something we base our lives off of. But yet, a day doesn't go by where I have absolutely no idea what my passion is.

No matter how hard I brainstorm, how hard I plan, or how much I put myself out there - nothing has clicked. I want to feel that fire and smile without realizing it simply because I love what I am doing. But what I have come to find, is that there is no age limit to find your dream job, your dream partner, or have your dream house. All of it is still possible and just because you are officially an adult does not mean that you have to have your life all figured out. You don't need to have it all, yet.

In the meantime, I plan on enjoying every moment that I have on this earth. Life is short, such a cliche, but incredibly true. Stop and smell the roses. Be open to new tasks. Take on a project that you would not have had interest in before. Continue your learning anyway possible.

Before you know it, your dream will come true. Slowly the puzzle pieces will fit together and form the big picture you have been waiting to reveal itself for quite some time now.

Sincerely,

Someone trying to find their passion too

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
