Passion: Where To Draw The Line Vs. Where To Start It?

It can get complicated.

Passion: Where To Draw The Line Vs. Where To Start It?
Huffington Post

If you know me even a little bit you know there are two sides to me. There are things I’m very passionate about and there are things that I do not care about. As I was reading other articles about what people were passionate about, it got me thinking. There are so many things I wish I could care about but I just don’t. There are also things that I wish I wasn’t so passionate about.

Things I wish I was more passionate about:

Exercise

I can never motivate myself enough to start a routine. One day I will start!

Eating Healthy

Why would I waste my time making something healthy when french fries are so good?

Math

I constantly struggle with math. Keep me in your thoughts this semester with my math class!

Love

You sometimes just get to the point where you stop caring about love because it never works out.

Being outdoorsy

I like to say this is something I will try to change but chances are I won't! Dirt + me do not mix well.

Things I wish I could calm down about:

What people think of me

Did I do something wrong? What did I say? Are they judging my shoes? It is a bad habit that I'm working on, I promise.

Controlling everything around me

I don't know if this will ever stop completely but I will sure try!

Being a back/side seat driver

This goes along with being controlling. If I'm not in charge I tend to freak out.

Love

This is on both sections because it has two different sides. Sometimes I don't care enough and other times I care way too much.

If I’m doing the right thing

I'm working on trusting that things will work out, even if I don't do the right thing.

This was supposed to bring some humor to something I’ve been struggling with for a long time. I have to focus more on myself and not what people are thinking. However, passion is good. Never lose that fire if it is something that makes you happy.

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
