find your passion

find your passion. follow your bliss. i really don’l like these kinds of prescriptive statements. they sit wrong with me. finding your passion, or your purpose, is one of the most difficult things a human can strive for. furthermore, i don’t believe this is just one passion or purpose for each person. some of us may have dozens, some of us only one or two.  so whenever someone says “find your passion” to me, i reply, “oh, i found it! i put it in a pot on my deck in the summer, and overwinter it in the basement under grow lights.”
