Passion.
It keeps us looking forward to every morning when we sleep at night.
It fuels the fire within us, in turn, fueling our life.

Everyone must have had a passion at some point in their lives. It's just that many of us inevitably lose that spark when we get too caught up with our lives. 
We forget what we love, what we cherish and what we truly want. 
Instead, we pursue what society wants us to pursue, what everyone else around us pursues.
 In doing so, we hand over our lives into the hands of others, into the clutches of society. 
I'm not saying it's not a good thing, but I ask, is that life yours, or others, or society's?

It is tough to keep that speck of flame going and at any point, I agree that it can go out without warning. It is however important that we stay around long enough to reignite that flame within us. 
And tonight, I think that flame is back. Just a tiny little blaze, but it's enough to make me feel like I'm seeing the sun for the first time. 
It feels warm. 
It feels bright. 
It feels nice.
