Quote from Cruel Desire:

I cried when watching Steel Magnolias, Does that count?

Your secret is safe with me!

These are my passions:

Recently, being a substitute teacher and I love the job. Some days can be very challenging but when a little female second or third grader comes up to hug me I feel that is my reward. I want to learn to become not only a good teacher but a great teacher. It is not an easy job because I am just temporarily teaching for a day.

Doing the simple things are also a passion for me, like going out on the beach in nice weather, writing a poem, going to a Rennaisance event with friends, and just enjoying the day!

Reading a good book. I have read 'The Last Lecture" and the author really gave me some insight about having these brick walls that sometimes, they only make you try harder if you desire to have whatever you want in life. The author had pancreatic cancer and died recently, leaving his wife and three children. When I finished reading the book, I started crying for his children knowing that they were so young when he died.

Catching a good comedy with your friends and laughing so hard, your cheeks just hurt!

I'm passionate about my two dogs, about those i love close family and friends (and I'm fiercely protective of them), I passionate about books, music, about my future, about love.

then again I'm just a fiery passionate person.

My life is based on passion. I have always felt emotions and passions very strongly - my first full sentence as a child was "Me do it!" - and once set upon a task, I'm unstoppable.

Depth of emotion, for me, is what colors life. What particularly moves me is a sense of wonder and a willingness to always keep exploring and plumbing the depths to see what I am capable of. I never fail to surprise myself and this intensity has pushed me to grow and mature.

There's been one or two times in my life where passion became obsession, because I was not yet old enough or wise enough to learn when to step back and temper my feelings with logic.

Ironically, I used to consider myself unemotional! How far from the truth.

<edited to add something pertinent>

One of my favorite songs of all time is He Got Game by Public Enemy. These lyrics pretty much sum it up for me:

It might feel good
It might sound a little sum'thin
but fuck the game
if it ain't sayin' nothin

Directing the flow of the intensity to provide positive experiences while not dulling your life and sense of adventure is certainly something I highly recommend. I floundered for a long time with trying to "fight" myself. It seems that almost over night it all came into focus and I have been truly unstoppable ever since.

I can relate to that statement! I now realize at some point, that I had to move on because in my situation, that obsession was hurting me and I needed to find my own happiness.

Tal Icarys,

The most passionate time of the day for me is when I wake up, knowing that I am not dead. All the rest of the day falls into place.

Be well.

This is true yet obsession has it's place to a degree. They are sometimes intertwined. I suppose, when it gets out of hand and you or others suffer, that would be a problem of course.

Yes I do see how it has it'splace. Without obsession, I do not believe relationships can thrive, but as you suggest - there is healthy and there is not.

quote:

There's a saying about the obsessions of two lovers but i can't for the life of me remember who said it or exactly what was said lol. It says, basically that love between two lovers is obsession and only turns to bad obsession when the two no longer see as one. ahhhh something like that.

I'll find it one of these days. Again...

Looking at our tag-line... maybe it's directional.

I can also relate. I've had a few times that it became a little too much. I did realise it and tried to slow it down. If it gets to the point that it's hurting you or someone else it's time to cool it.

Obsession though isn't always a bad thing. Our lives to date are built on the backs of obsessed people. Driven to excell passed what passion would mean to most of us.

I don't fear these things and look forward to the next time I can let out my passion. As i'm typing these words, I feel it now.

Expressing myself is one of my passions

i'm the most passionate about the Lifestyle. i so groove on the people and the festishwear and the toys and the scenes and playing and the sounds and the public dungeons and just everything! The Lifestyle is really my only passion at this time. Master loves our scenes to be hot and passionate too. i wiggle and move and moan and cry out and and He growls and whispers and demands and pops the whips and paddles. We are passionate about showing others how passionate a scene can be. We are both, as individuals, passionate teachers and i can't think of anything more boring than a stoic.
Its interesting that you bring this up because i've been mulling over how i could do a Demo on adding passion to scene play. Hummmmmmm. Good posting!
i used to be passionate about my profession, but the industry has changed so much that i just up and left it. i'm searching for a new one now and hoping i can find something to be passionate about instead of just a job.

Greetings Icarys,

A wonderful question... one that has been on my mind for some time.

I have been living in Asia for the last year or so. The lack of passion there just dried out my soul. I feel like a little mushroom all flaky and brittle. There was nowhere to dance (my greatest passion), noone to really flirt with (my greatest passion), nor places to enjoy great art (my greatest passion). *I never said I was completely logical. smile* At least not where I was.

The year there nearly killed my soul. My pain of losing my passion, a place to express my passion, was devestating to my spirit. I returned to the USA and found bits and pieces of it coming back, but in order to save my essence, I needed to do something completely passion filled. I returned to my beloved Peru for a month. I've been here a short time, but already, I've found myself dancing with a beautiful man in the restaurant at lunch, twirling to indigenous music all alone, gasping for breath at the beauty of ancient art, quieting myself so I can hear the music and the laughter of those around me. I am filling up again. This is not at all odd here. It is encouraged. Expression of appreciation is enjoyed...

In Asia, I had nothing that energized me, daily life energizes me here.

Passion is what gets us up in the morning, drives us to move forward, gives us hope for tomorrow.

For me, it is art, music, dance, love, good food, intellectual discourse, and adventure.

May you have enough,
sunshine

I'm of the same mind when it comes to this. I don't do overly outward shows of emotion but i still feel it inside. My passion is in the new ways i can make a female squirm, whether it be from physical or mental. I do also love dreaming up or working on new devices to help that along. (these things are completely meaningless to me if i don't have the bond, I would much rather have the bond over these anyday)

The emotional bond that forms from this is the thing i seek most and am most passionate about.
Not all of the relationships work out but when they do. Oh yes, when they do

.
It's something to see and experience.

I enjoy also when i see others going through these same things.

Passion isn't a place you can be in constantly. It's too tiring. Although there are some intense moments, or hours, or whatever, I also value the comfortable just as much. An hour in Barnes & Noble, new books to choose, a chai latte to sip - not passionate but pleasurable to the core.

This is true..No such thing as full time passion. You don't have to run through Barnes and Noble screaming" Viva la Books..Hand me a freaking latte..I LOVE THIS PLACE" to feel passion about them. Nor do you have to sleep, eat and crap them either. There are passions that are expressed in subtle ways.

LOL that made me laugh.

I am passionate about love, life, hope, friends, family, lovers, music, photography, work, my kitty, writing, and a whole lot of other things. I also love my down time. I've recently discovered meditation, the art of relaxing, and simply being still and silent. It replenishes me between passions. :) Like DesFIP said, I can't be passionate all of the time. At some point the tank would become empty. It's those quiet times that allow me to regroup and refill and appreciate "what is."

Good thread!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it. Passion is well, one of my passions.

I love the fire i feel even if i occassionally get burned. It's still beautiful to see and brings warmth to our lives.

Greetings Icarys,

i started a thread in January with a different purpose but same topic:

http://www.collarchat.com/m_771253/mpage_1/tm.htm

Seems i am passionate about "passion" as well

To answer YOUR thread...i believe there are infinite "notes" of passion being played continuously and the rest of MY life will be spent experiencing ALL of them~

Have you experienced it yet?

I think i see some of it in your pics. Traveling might be one?

I enjoy a large range of things in my life but the ones that hold my attention and focus the most are my intimate relationships. No blaze like that of love to consume you so.

Alot can change in 9 months especially when one's life takes an accelerated growth spurt

Yes, i have and i am experiencing passion primarily due to a few words of wisdom from KoM...after reading that i took responsiblity for creating passion in my life and in who i am - i always had it, it just needed awakening! i just wish i had been aware of what a wild ride it would be! LOL!

" Is there passion in a relationship? Only if the individuals within the relationship find passion within themselves first. "

Passion is equivalent to the intensity with which you work and approach life. It's connecting with something so deeply that everything else pales in comparison. Nothing else enters your consciousness, like the need for food, rest, sleep etc.... it's a driving force in and of itself.
