So, the latest tryst I face with myself (and words) is on something that is god awfully overrated! Passion (apparently)
Just a fortnight ago, the boss happened to question our team on "what's your passion?"
The Dilemma - Most of us have no idea.
Me - I think, it could be writing. You know, because I write for a living and I write in distress, I write in joy and I write in confusion. I write for most instances I remember.
But then again, the night arrived, my solitude time. Wherein the cliche turns true; "What am I really doing with my life?" Whilst watching a prime-time soap, the protagonist said, "It's ok."
So, I write.
It's ok, to not know where the feet wander.
It's ok, to know you're lost.
