What Am I Passionate About?

Several times I have spoken about what I am passionate about. Most of the time, my passion is music. Although, I do have other things that I am passionate about. For example, writing. I love writing and I love books. I love to have that escape from life that cannot be accomplished by anything else. The book that has done the most for me so far has been the Twilight saga. I love the story of Edward and Bella, but also the side stories of Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Esme, and Carlisle. I'm interested in that kind of stuff and it drives me insane when I don't get to do it. In fact, I haven't put my nose in a book in a while. I'm actually thinking about re-reading the entire Twilight saga again before New Moon comes out in November. That should be a challenge. I'll probably have time to read it four times over. I've already read Twilight I think four times already anyway. I've read the book "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini seven times due to boredom and quite a bit of obsession involved.

Anyway, back to music. It is definitely something that I am passionate about, because it has been there throughout my childhood. I don't remember a day in my life where some kind of music has been played. As a toddler, I would dance to Michael Jackson and Steve Warner, and I would stand in front of the television as MTV or CMT played on the screen. I have lived through it my entire life and it is something that has grown on me and saved me several times in my young life. I may be 18 years old, but throughout those eighteen years I have been exposed to so much creativity and compassion through lyrics. My interests have grown, shrank, and expanded several times. That is why I am going into the music industry, and trying to make a living there as part of the business part of it regarding management and producing, hell, even sound mixing or something along those lines.

For books, there are no words to describe how much books mean to me. I have been around those my entire life as well because my dad has always had a passion for writing children's books. He has attempted to write serious adult books but he hasn't been that type of person. He has the childish, playful side about him and he wants to go to that to get away from the adult problems he faces now. So, as a kid, he always read to me those books that he has written and I have always enjoyed them and dug them out to read them again when he wasn't looking. He has even asked me to co-write with him sometimes. I, personally, am trying to write my own story but because of everything going on, it is really hard to concentrate on it. So, for now, I dig into a book if I can. Like I said before, I'm going to be trying to re-read the Twilight saga and watch the movie and what not to get that 'obsession' back up again. I'm really excited for New Moon in November and Eclipse next June. There are no words to describe how much these two things mean to me.
