I've been giving a lot of thought to the concept of passion in the " a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything" sense of the word. In particular, I've been trying to figure out what it is I'm passionate about. Well, let me back this up a bit, as that might make things a little more clear. A lot of my friends and acquaintances have hobbies which they excel at, be it music, sewing, painting/drawing, knitting, cooking, beading, metal working, or just making cool shit out of anything (mighty_1, I'm looking in your direction for that last one). While I am certainly being unfair to myself, comparative to them, I feel like a total slacker, since, while I can do a lot of the things they do, I have no desire to do them.

So this has left me contemplating what I am passionate about. A lot of reflection has brought me to the conclusion that I'm most passionate about new things. I know, I know, that sounds ...odd, but I can't think of a better way to express what it is I'm interested in. New things in this case is sort of a catch-all for new experiences/people/places/ideas (what, I'm a Sagittarius, did you expect anything different?), sort of a lust for knowledge in all forms.

I suppose I could wax philosophic on this topic for a while, but I'm choosing to kill the radio signal here, partly because I have a fuck-ton of work to do and there seems to be a lunchbunny lurking around here.

I will, however, leave you with this thought from the book I'm currently reading which resonated with me:
"He seemed to understand that love was constant, but that it could be raised to a higher level when it really mattered."

While I am not much into the Astrology, as a fellow Sagi, I know exactly what you mean about new stuff!
