Exploring My Passions

I have two joys in life that I’m equally passionate about. The first is writing. The second is helping others. When I write, I feel as though my mind is free. I can travel to a different place and time, even while writing about the present. When I help others, it helps me. It makes me feel better about myself

knowing that I was there to
help someone. I think that my mother reinforced a lot of positive attention when my siblings or I would help her, my father, each other, or anyone. And doing so, it made me feel better about myself. Now, when I help someone it makes me feel like I’m needed,  whether it be emotionally, a random act of kindness, kissing my nephews forehead when he bumps it, etc...

If I was told my wish would be granted for the one thing I wanted to do every day for the rest of my life, I would choose to help people through writing. It’s both of my passions woven together. I suppose that I could be a self-help author, but that doesn’t seem to interest me that much. I would want to write novels that inspire people (like The Alchemist). I would want to help people through my writing just as Paulo Coelho has. That would be amazing if I could succeed at something like that. Who says I can’t? Maybe someday I will. But, since my major is nursing, maybe I could write children’s books for kids who are ill. Maybe I could read them to them before they fall asleep at night. I think that would be just as amazing.

I would like to be of service to anyone who needs the help. The key word there is needs, not wants. Sometimes people don’t want help, but don’t realize that they need it. Maybe they would realize it from my writing. Maybe a message I put into it will stick out to them and make them realize the help they need. And I would also like to help children. Children are so kind and innocent from the start, it’s a shame people become bitter as they grow. But with children, you can teach them things more easily than you can teach adults. And when you teach a child something important, it will stay with them forever. There are many important qualities and lessons my mother has taught me to raise me into a good person, that have been and always will be with me forever. Maybe if I start with the children, their generation will pass it on and make this world a better place. 

This Week's Poem About My Passion: 

A Dance With Passion

Helping others 

When they're in need

Into the pages

My words bleed

From random acts

Of kindness

To the paper as

My canvas

Merging into one

What a beautiful thing

It makes me so happy

It makes me sing

When I found it, I felt complete

Like a whole was filled inside me

It opened my eyes and showed me love

Which in the end set me free

I don't know what the future holds

Whats meant to be will be

But I'll love it forever

And ever, and ever, you see?
