"I'll tell myself to be easy on myself because I'm still 19, it's okay if I haven't figured out my life fully yet."
Most people, especially my age, haven't discovered their own self completely. Me neither. Including passion. People in my culture don't usually talk about passion, especially when it comes to choice of career and make a living. But for me, passion is so important to get a person going.
I don't do a small research yet about passion, whether it has been popular term in the past or it's only popular for the millennials like me. Passion is somewhat happening in the world right now. People keep talking about, "What's your passion?", "My passion is on the fashion industry.", "I love youtube and game because it's my passion in life.", anything about passion. But do they really understand their passion?
For me, passion is the list of things that give me the chills and excitement whenever I talk about it, whenever and wherever, can be my moodbooster in the darkest day, can lift me up again, and make me feel like loving my life and myself. That's passion for me. Passion gives me the spirit to live, to create, to give something for others, to be useful and helpful for mankind. Passion is what keeps me going.
But, passion can become my own boomerang.
Whenever I'm faced with psychological issues like personality disorders, suicidal behavior, eating disorder, and mental disorders, I'm thrilled and amazed and something inside me just lit itself. Psychology is now a part of science. It's the science that mixed up with other aspect of life like life history, family backgrounds, that excite me. It's amazing, fascinating, and thrilling at the same time it makes me feel fluttered. I'm excited about psychology and want to learn more and more and develop more to contribute to this disciple. This is the study of human, to understand human better than before. And it's amazing how those people have made this far to create such a better huge understanding of mankind.
Psychology is a wide area itself. I've pursed my interest. The parts of psychology that lit me is the pathological side, also the understanding of personality and behavior of human. There's this branch of psychology that called "Psychometric" and I'm not so into it. I know what I like, I know my passion.
How do I figure this all out is by my intuition mostly. But my history and my mind also take part on the development of finding my passion. I don't know whether it's just me or anyone else have been feeling the same way but I feel everything in color. For something I like, it has warm and bright color, it's colorful and cheerful, not monotonous. They're the pathological, personality and behavioral psychology that have the warm color and exciting one. The science lies between those branch. I'm so into science. You can say that I'm thirsty for knowledge and wanting to know more and more. And psychometric has black and white, monotonous color, for me. It's like... statics for me, like business and economic things. I don't really like the way those things make me feel.
It's inside me. It's still inside me. The spirit to be useful for others. The urge to help others, to be kind and loving and compassion for others, to be there for them in need. I really want to embrace them all. And I'm really, really, in peace right now for finding back myself, the part of me that went missing for the past few months. Now I've found it back, and I won't let it go anymore.
The spirit I mentioned earlier, is one of my passion too. But the way I want to contribute for mankind is really psychologically. I want to help people, psychologically, by offering them much support, love, care, compassion, affection, anything they need, anything they're lacking psychologically. I want to make them feel safe, to feel at ease and to get them reach the top of their life. I really wanna be that person. It's inside me.
Let's talk about the passion itself in general. I know a lot of people is struggling with their passion and reality that collided not in a good way. I know how it feels and it's okay if that's happened. You're going to figure it out slowly. All you need is patience and a clear mind. I know it's freaking you out when you've found your passion and then reality hits you hard. But once again, listen to your heart and follow your intuition. Find someone you can talk to about this things to help you see your problem from a different point of view.
I hope this post inspire whoever read this, and I hope you can find your passions too. I know you can and you will find it.
