Day 8: Be Passionate

Today, I am to post about five things that I am passionate about.

1: I am passionate about my man. I am so proud of what he does and how he's kept his personality intact throughout this whole process, yet still changing and growing into an even better man every step of the way. Basically, everything he and I can share together, we do; we take an interest in one another's lives and support each other every step of the way and he really deserves every bit of passion and dedication I give to him.

2: Obviously, from my last post, I am passionate about languages and learning them. I love everything about languages and I don't care how difficult it is or how long it takes me; I know I can learn them. I already speak French pretty well and I'll be moving on to Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, ASL... pretty much everything I can wrap my mind around, I'm going to learn.

3: I am SO passionate about everything Pittsburgh. I am proud to say that I am from Western PA and proud to say how much I love my city. I love the Pirates (even though they pretty much suck), I love the Pens (even though there;s a hockey lock out right now), and I especially love my Steelers. They're the greatest team in the whole world and I would never trade anything in the world to replace being a Steelers fan. This is my hometown, and I am proud of it. It's a beautiful city and every part of it is like entering a new culture. The South Side, Oakland, Shadyside, Downtown, and all of the suburbs; they're all unique and beautiful. It's wonderful.

4: I am big into sports and athletics. I miss cheerleading so much (though I would NEVER wish back my high school years to get it back, just to be clear) and I even miss swimming competitively and running track/jumping. But, one thing I do still do is play softball. I play ball in three different leagues, two of which are co-ed. I love the competitive atmosphere and I love hitting the shit out of a softball when I am beyond frustrated with my week. It makes everything feel wonderful.

5: I am passionate about travelling. Moving away for a while, travelling for a few months, visiting different places; just go and do it! Save your money, it's definitely worth it! Just go!
