Are your childhood passions still alive?

Are your childhood passions still alive?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I loved writing, art and music. I write as part of my job. Still love art and over the years have continued to undertake artistic projects as a hobby. And I definitely still love music. So I think I’m quite faithful to my inner child’s passions. In saying that, when I reached the age where I had to choose a career, my parents did not let me go down a path I would naturally have chosen. So for many years I wasn’t drawing on those innate passions. However, when the opportunity arose, I found I naturally gravitated back to the things I loved.
