dousface@comcast.netI've turned out to be one of those people who go from one passion to another, leaving the remains of my previous hobby to set up a flimsy framework for the next one. I've been in to Magic: The Gathering, stock piling cards and staying up into the night looking for the right cards for my decks; I've painted a good thirty something Tyranids, though never found the time or people to actually play Warhammer; I've written D&D campaigns in the hopes of being able to play them; I used to draw macabre images of tentacles and alien eyes, and other normal art stuff; I used to think I could play guitar, and have a beautiful family-heirloom Ovation resting in peace in its case in my room; I've gone from buying CD's, to video games, to books, to mangas, and all around again, several times; I've spent hundreds of hours playing Elder Scrolls games; I tried baseball as a young kid, hated it, and despise sports now; I made several AMV's and a short film with a Cybershot, and never got past trying to finish a movie for a school project; but what's the point of saying all of this? The point is trying to discover your passion, which is tied to discovering your true self. Who you are. Who you were. Who you want to become. And if you find yourself jumping from one hobby to the next- or from one relationship to the next, if that be your case- if nothing seems to stick, if nothing seems to hold your attention for more than a few months, or hours, or seconds- keep on going. Keep exploring, and experimenting, and looking for that particular creative action that will express who you are, that will fulfill you. If you can find that, than every wasted dollar, every squabbled minute, every forgotten drawing, story, or model, every instrument picked up and then neglected, every relationship that ended in tears, everything you've ever started and didn't finish- and infinite other things- they will all have been worth it.
In the end, you do not want to feel ambiguous about your true purpose.
