RE: Weekend-engagement week 13: Ask me anything

in Weekend Experiences4 years ago

Twin evil sisters! Lol...Just kidding, she's probably not as evil as you.

Ok, so this is a bit of a harder one for me...First passion...So Faith, my wife, was my first real passion as we met so young, 33 years ago, she was almost 16 and I was 17 and a half. We've been together ever since and whilst we've had some really hard times we've remained in love and strong as a couple. (Everyone has hard times, life is like that).

So, we enjoyed the simplicity of our lives as late teens, early to mid twenties etc. But things get complicated sometimes, the world and society changes, we change and pressure mounts...We still have a good life, but it's far from the simple life of our early days...

That's what I'd like to get back to and do more...A simple life.

This probably all sounds pretty silly to you, but as a 50 year old I yearn for those moments we shared where we seemingly had no cares in the world except each other. This is why we spend as much time as we can living experiences together now...You know?

Good question though.

And you? I know you're quite young, but is there something you were/are passionate about but haven't engaged with lately?

!ENGAGE 25

Sort:  

Haha, we both have our evil moments of glory lol

As for your answer, that's a smart one! I haven't seen this coming but actually think about maybe what the career you dreamed about is, or something like that, my bad!

But I have to agree with you, I think there is nothing purer than falling in love with someone when you are young and evolve and get through all the phases of life together. Seeing each other grow up and face different thresholds of life is really a cool thing. In this way, you will have no doubts about your pick and the person you have next to you every morning.

And you? I know you're quite young, but is there something you were/are passionate about but haven't engaged with lately?

If I have to answer technical then I would say drawing. I really loved doing this since I was just 4 years old and had a great evolution pretty fast but unfortunately had to give up on this since the artists don't really have any chance in my country, and this is the reason why I was also not supported by any members of my family.

But if I have to reply to the same subject you opened up the discussion, then I completely feel you. Don't know how young I look like (my birthday was on Tuesday so I feel kind of older now, lol), but I have a similar experience. Actually it started as one of the purest and more amazing friendships I never dreamed about since I was only 14 years old and we already have almost 2 years since we declared our feelings and realized we can take this to the next level.

Just as I said, it's really amazing to see each another grow up and get through different phases of life, from the simple life away from any worries to the one where things are getting harder and more challenges appear :)

career you dreamed about is

Always wanted to be a fireman...I like helping people. It never happened though, life just got in the way I guess, I went in other directions.

Happy birthday for Tuesday...Don't worry, you're not old...When you catch up to me you will be though. :)

My dad was a great artist, made a living from it. It is hard though. The thing is that you can draw anytime, for yourself. I think you should because if you feel passionate about it then you clearly get some reward, maybe not financial, but emotional. That's worth doing.

Well done on your relationship also...Strong relationships are hard to develop these days, so fight for it if you have to.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, wise words and great advices! They were well needed :)

I'm not a big fan of birthdays, my own I mean, as I don't like being the centre of attention but other people's...If cake is involved, I'm all in. :)

Same here. That's why I always hold my birthday in nature with some friends and family, exploring the surroundings and sleeping in the tents :D

Most likely a happy day when we all gather together rather than a birthday lol

Dream passion would be to work in the field of nature ,wildlife and marine conservation. Id live nothing more than to live in the tropics swimming the reefs and conserving them.

Same here! I really wish I'll get to earn my income from doing what I really love..
