As I sit here, I should be writing a grant and not writing a blog post. Boo.
But I have some questions about passion:
- How do we find our passions?
- Why are we passionate about more things than others?
- What am I passionate about?
- When will I find something that I can be truly passionate about for more than 6 months? (or such short little periods of time)
Today I was asked to remember why I took my position with Americorps. I remember that it came from my passion to work within the city of Seattle. I wanted to work with youth... what's wrong with what I'm doing now then? How did I lose the passion to do those things?
Life right now seems a little too overwhelming to be real. I keep trying to get through each week. It's weird to think that when I used to be stressed, I would just try to get through the days. Now it's weeks? Like right now, I can't wait for the next 2 weeks to be over. After that, I have a small break until I need to be done with 3 more weeks and then I'll need to get past 3 months. This year is going to fly by and I won't have a chance to enjoy things at all? That is the most depressing feeling. How do I make this more enjoyable? I am continually searching with no answers. It's this constant sinking feeling. And it sucks.
I feel like the last few blogs have been kind of downers. I will try to find more hope in the coming weeks... that will be the goal even if things at work don't change.
