There have been many changes and experiences in my life where my priorities and passions were different from what they are now. Passions change due to discoveries and interests that people try. For me, my passions are books, music, and friendship.
My first passion is books because reading is what brings my mind peace and escapism. Picking up a fantasy book and getting absorbed into the world that an author has created is what clears my mind of all the stress and wild thoughts that are in my head. One of my goals in life is to write and publish my own book that could one day also bring peace and escapism to someone else.
My second passion is music because it brings my environment from being quiet to blasting with sound. Every time I go outside, I have to bring my headphones with me so I can have music playing at all times. Even if the music is quiet and you can barely hear it, there is just something about having music playing in the background of your life. It lets me not get absorbed into my own thoughts and instead focus on the lyrics playing.
My third passion is friendship because, without my best friend, my life would not be the same. Being around my best friend feels right because she is someone who would not judge me and makes me feel safe with my thoughts. We do everything together so without her, my life would feel incomplete. Every day I am grateful that we became friends and that our bond is still strong.
Everyone has different passions and what they feel is the most important to them in life and these were my passions: books, music, and friendship.
