I have to become my own coolie no.1 because it is time to unload what I’ve been carrying.

Alcohol is often a catalyst of sorts, and it has led to this exothermic reaction of an outlet of emotions and ranting. So here it is in front of you, in the flesh.

Nothing hits you like alcohol unless it’s your far away close friend with whom you open like a flower during spring, and tell him everything.

At the same time, he rants about every wrong decision he took, from leaving MBBS to bitterly loving physics while he downloads that big file of physics pdf and unloads all his pain by learning singular motion in a heartbeat.

It makes you realise passion or something you want to do can be done at any time, no matter how tipsy you are, no matter what.

Passion is when you stop studying for your internals, and watch an entire F1 race, even though you know your team will lose. Passion is when you can’t stop doing it if you wanted to. You have this commitment towards it. It attracts you towards it. You can’t stop it.

Talented people often hate what they do, which never made sense to me. It makes me feel like I’m not talented at all.

So I guess I’m really passionate about myself.

Writing isn’t something I’m passionate about. It’s always been an outlet for me. It’s not something I would be curious to find out what lies ahead for me. I could never simplify and teach it. It’s such a powerful outlet though.

I would always come back to writing, no matter what. It’s beautiful. It gives me pleasure. It provides this sorrow inside me a life.

I’ve always often wondered when it stops being fun and starts being passionate, and I know now.

The difference between passion and fun is curiosity — knowing how everything works. Fun is in finding out the interest.

Fun is temporary, passion is forever.

Passion keeps you up at night. It knocks at your door and is like yo bro when we doing this shit again fam, it makes me amazeballs.

It makes you curious about everything. It makes you learn about it. Knowing this is what makes it fun.

I hope you have something you are passionate about. If you don’t, that’s totally okay. It doesn’t even need to be something you are good at.

As long as you are having fun, that’s all that matters.

The heading had no link to anything I wrote.
Nothing is linked actually.

Thank you and have a nice day.
