The best definition for passion is “a challenge that you look forward to conquering.” --Paul Hudson (as written in an article on Elite Daily, found here) I was reading an article on Elite Daily about passion just now. I always have to take these with a grain of salt because while I do believe they are quite contrived, they sometimes unearth a few gems. This article in particular called to me. It spoke of the importance of being able to name your passion.
One of my greatest passions is travel. The connections formed with different people, places, and times is one of the best fountains of knowledge I've ever drank from (I sound horrendously fake right there, I know). Can I get a "what-what" for teleporting superpowers (THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE SUPERPOWER WISH AND IF SOMEONE HAPPENS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS LET ME KNOW ASAP PLZZZZ). But in all honesty, the idea that we can always learn something new is refreshing to me. I sometimes like to pretend that I know it all or at least most of it, but in reality, I don't. Traveling for me is cathartic, relaxing, exciting, stressful, and eye-opening to say the least. The really cool thing is that there is always something new to discover and explore. I am getting ready to upend my life as I know it in the states and move to Madrid for the better part of the year. I am absolutely terrified. Along with that, I am beyond excited because this is one thing that I truly love to do. True, I did study abroad/live/siesta/drink there (España, Madrid) for 5 months, but it was a different exploit. This time around, I've signed up to be an Auxiliar (or rather, a Language Assistant as I am going through a program called Meddeas (more on these programs to come)). Long story short, I will be teaching English. I love meeting new people and seeing new (or familiar) places and having different experiences and learning new things and finding ways to bring those all together with what I already know. Soooo here we go. This is the adventure of a lifetime, but not so much when you consider that I regard my entire life as an audacious undertaking. Come along for the ride with me and experience the ups, downs, laughs, loves, and many emotions in-between as we attempt to navigate these waters. I think this is like the 18th blog I've started in the past 5 or 6 years. I am absolutely awful about updating and keeping in touch, but I'm really really trying. I've heard from a couple of my friends that this platform is really easy and simple to use aaaaand they have a great mobile app that will hopefully make updating on the go a little bit easier (link to their awesome blogs here: Britt and Nicole).
