where's my passion at?

pas·sion  
n.

2.
a. Ardent love.
b. Strong sexual desire; lust.
c. The object of such love or desire.

3.
a. Boundless enthusiasm: His skills as a player don't quite match his passion for the game.
b. The object of such enthusiasm: Soccer is her passion.

I'm talking about the second lot of meanings here, enthusiasm etc keeping this a clean post! Passion is something I think about a lot, at art foundation I am surrounded by people who have a passion for what they're doing which is originally why I took it, to find my passion. Sadly I did not which is why I'm not continuing and instead I chose media, culture and journalism. I didn't choose it because I am passionate about it, it just seemed interesting and I didn't want to be stuck in Birmingham for another year even though I have started to realise this city is slowly growing on me (finally after almost 20 years!)
My mind goes blank every time I try to think about something I'm passionate about, I mean yeah I like clothes but I'm not exactly lusting over the fashion world. In fact I guess I can't be that passionate about clothing a) I'm too indecisive b) I don't really have a certain style. If I do go hunting for clothes I just get frustrated. I like a lot of things really but all I see it as is a bit of dabbling.
I'm not exactly looking for my passion or anything I just hope it comes to me one day. Maybe it will come if I ever become a mom when I'm older and all that deep, meaningful shit. Or maybe a year travelling the globe, who knows? It frustrates me a lot that I have nothing I really want to sink my teeth into especially when so many people around me have something like that, maybe it's more envy rather than frustration? Although I am tremendously  proud of the people around me and what they have achieved. I know a lot of people are probably in the same boat as me so I'm hoping this post doesn't sound all too ME ME ME. I just think by finding some sort of passion I would feel more comfortable in my own skin that's all.
And in the mean time while my passion is taking it's sweet time to get to me I am currently baking and attempting gardening so over the summer I'll develop into a 52 year old elderly person and hey ho maybe even attempt cross stitching! Thrilling times ahead I must say.

Peace
