Passion

My father is a 62 year old man and he is busy constructing a bridge by himself. My mom is a 60 year old woman and she just finished attending night classes for English Language Courses.  She is now continuing her driving lesson. So it seems passion does not extinguished with age. My parents are my closest inspiration when it comes to pursuing a passion in whatever stage of life.

I am on holiday this week. I take a one week off just to take a break from the city life. I choose to head off to my hometown to change air because to me life in the village is far more colourful and peaceful than the life I have in the city. 

In here I am able to unwind and participate in the mundane task of living which ironically does take my effort but does not make me spiteful like how I used to be in the past. Perhaps the role of an adult young woman, a wife and a daughter has finally sit well in my soul. Further more, the outside world has taught me that home is the only place you can be totally at peace in spite of all the conflicts that comes with having a large members in the family. 

Having to say that, home is where the passion takes its roots. It paves the way to the unknown. It also brings you back from where ever you are when you feel stuck somewhere. 

My passion is reignited every time I come back here. Coming back from where I have started allows me to view my life from every angle. Question like, "Do I want to continue doing this?" comes calmly and go unanswered smoothly. The burden of having a burden doesn't sting so much. It is there but it isn't painful and I am not resentful. I have learned by experience to appreciate life at its lowest and highest peak. I think I can now enjoy everything in whatever form it is come what may. 

Passion drives you to the highest peak but it also drives you down to the deepest pit. It will strangle you and suffocate you along the way but without it, you are no better than a walking robot. My passion is firmly in doing what I do best " loving the animal". So what if half of my job have something to do with strangling super manipulative people? Haha. Just kidding. 

You know what. I think I am going to do what most people do which is living one day at a time but also I am going to do a bit more which is stepping out of hatred by leaving everything behind when the day comes. I can only dream for now but I am optimist. Yessss I am. !

Counting this blessed week ahead!
