Passion Poor

Living without passion is one of the hungriest times you’ll face. It’s when the pain in the pit of your stomach is strongest, and when you think you could drown in the emptiness of your being.
You find yourself walking around as a ghost, just wandering, exploring — looking for something to fill you and ignite an ache deep inside you.
If you’ve never been passion poor, you’ve never been hungry enough to go out and find yourself one. We’re not all born with passion, the same way we’re not born full. You have to go out and find it. You have to go and feed yourself.
You have to experience a lot of things and go a lot of places you wouldn’t normally go unless you weren’t completely starved of inspiration.

Bizi,

Please explain how this reads to you? Clearly it must resonate with you in some way. I would like to understand.


That is the most depressing thing I have ever read.
What about those of us with 1: mental illness, 2. taking major drugs that dull us?

Is it useful to embrace squalor?
Facing bankruptcy . . . [Have you ever faced bankruptcy? I have.]

As an adult:
I did this -->>>>. . . not having enough rent, being broke and living on my home made bread pudding (I altered the standard recipe of bread, eggs, milk, sugar by making it higher protein with lowish sugar and lots of eggs).

I have truly and completely been broke --
Those were not times I cherish or would ever re-create.

What is this author's version of living with passion?????????

I only read what was posted. I didn't read anything else on facebook though so there's obviously more to it than what bizi posted.

I may be wrong but I just took it to mean something similar to saying life is short, make the most of it. Smell the roses. Live each day to the fullest. I didn't read it about being poor or hungry or about squalor. I read most of it as being metaphorical.



for you Mari.

It is from Elite Daily The Voice of Generation Y

I read the whole link.

I am going to edit most of what I wrote.
I am angry about advice re embracing passion --
-- - about how being poor builds character. . . .
