Well as you know I’m a musician, passion is practically my life, so I couldn’t say that any one thing would be more inspirational than the next. I could give a bit of an idea as you so did here. Now, think about music you’ve listened to that really touched you and you felt that, pain, happiness, sorrow, ect…. That’s most likely because that’s happened to them. As I pop up more here on fluther I’m sure people seem to notice that I’m not always in the best of situations and so the story of my life goes. In the beginning of my passionate uprising I was an artist. I would draw and paint and create things for hours. I was about 9 when I started this. I was grounded a lot and had paper and pencils and stuff in my room that was pretty much my life. I was really good, but then I discovered the guitar around the age 11. Then I started sneaking out of being grounded to go over to a friends house that had a guitar just to play it for hours on end. I didn’t really know how to play to well at the time, but it was a great release from my terrible home life. As time went on I eventually got a guitar, one that I wasn’t happy with, but it was better than being without. My step mother would constantly scorn me, “you’ll never amount to anything” “you’ll never make it anywhere by playing that”, ect ect. That was a big drive for me. Also being this was during the teenage years, puppy love and teenage drama was a big motivation to play longer and harder and more raw emotional. Eventually, I grew up and the passion changed. Into more of a instrument of love, not literally speaking, but figuratively. There was a time I stopped playing for a year or so and my life was lacking. I was utterly depressed and was not happy with life at all. When I was reunited with my love the guitar this is when I found this new passion. I never felt so happy. Even if I just had something horrible happen to me and playing it out on the strings. I also write lyrics, which can be very passionate in a state of high emotion. When I play in front of people, it’s the most satisfying feeling. To be able to lay it all out before others and have them really enjoy what you’ve done for them is a feeling I cannot explain. You just feel it. The passion. It’s like an exchange of it. Between you and them. Even if I don’t make it as a musician. I will play until I die and die trying to bring my passion to those in need of it. …because lets face it. Where would life be without music?
