What you love

“Woah. Amazing! Look at this!!!”
“Oh. Um … Uh-huh.”

We are naturally curious. Naturally inspired. Naturally filled with wonder and awe.

But over time, we learn to protect that. To hold it close to ourselves.

It just takes a few experiences of a child revealing a passionate interest to a disinterested peer group.

Or a person explaining a creative pursuit to an unreceptive audience.

And then we hesitate to share when we’re inspired.

Or worse, we hesitate to even be inspired.

Resist this.

You were born to love. To fall in love. To be deeply interested in the things that deeply interest you.

While you’re not alone in your interests, it can sometimes feel lonely.

But don’t let that stop you.

Love what you love.

There’s a kaleidoscope whose viewport is all your own. Delight in it.
