My Passions

     Lately I have been contemplating on how I prioritize my passions. I decided to major in Radiation Therapy because it's a great source of income (only with bachelors), it lets me help people (both physically and mentally), and nobody really looks for a degree in this particular field. Although it has so many positive attributes, there's just one thing, its not my passion.

     I've been in plays, written great stories, and have danced since the beginning of time. As a child, all of these things came naturally to me, and I thought that everyone would develop them in their own way too. But as I grew older, I realized that talents in the performing arts aren't always natural, and are very hard to attain when not born with them. Things that were are hard for other people, such as talking in front of large groups, dancing with rhythm and past the literal meaning of lyrics, and having a connection to written word that to come to life by imagination, were never hard for me. As I get older, I realize how rare those talents are, and that only the people who throw themselves into their talents are victors.

     But it's so hard. Although I know for sure that my duties on earth are to share my thoughts and open up the minds of others in such a way to influence and make an impact on the world, there are so many obstacles in my way that seem almost impossible to budge. But nothing is impossible. I know what my passions are, regardless of what society says I need to do in my life to sustain myself and be happy. Maybe it's time I stop contemplating on a plan B before I even explore my plan A.
