    Mine is playing clarinet, especially in an orchestra setting.

    What is your passion?

    I used to play clarinet. I really miss it. If I could afford one I'd take it up again.
    I don't think I have a strong passion that sticks out. I have a few things that mean a lot to me. Film-making, animals, allowing music to move me emotionally. It's not even that I want to make movies necessarily, I just enjoy learning about the process.

    There are plenty of things I really enjoy, but only few I would call passion.

    Travelling would be my no.1.
    Also studying foreign cultures and languages. And listening to music :v:

    Research.

    It doesn't even really matter what topic it is, I can easily lose myself for hours/days/weeks learning about something, even when I don't particularly care about the topic. A nice side-effect is building up a broad knowledge base which helps me relate to many different types of people. It can never get boring either, since I can just pick something else to study when I'm tired of the current thing.

    Me too! Is there a specific area you study?
    I center my research around early modern European history.

    I always seem to naturally gravitate towards Maritime/Naval history, and have always loved ships. Military history and culture across the centuries interests me too. I interact with modern day military members/veterans often too, so it's a nice shared interest usually.

    Apart from that, if I were to pick a specific time period I'd probably say I like European history around 1600-1850, with particular interest in the French revolutionary era and Napoleon.

    Extremely relatable.
    I hope you find one.

    Same. I don’t really feel like I have many passions anymore. I have interests, and a few of the interests are very strong at times, but then I get bored and move on to something new. I have a hard time holding on to a few of the same passions throughout my life, and I don’t really ever experience that passionate feeling towards anything...I might loosely say that my job is my passion, but it’s really not...just a cliche lol.

    I have a few things I'm passionate about like studying various mythologies, being out in nature and listening to music. I love drawing too.

    Mine is pro wrestling. I watch it whenever I can, and I like to create my own fantasy matches. I own around 100 wrestling DVDs (not including ones I've sold through the years). I also study the history of wrestling. I can tell you (without looking it up) that the first ever undisputed wrestling champion was George Hackenschmidt, who defeated Tom Jenkins in 1905.

    Politics, which is probably why it's my career and I'm spending more money than I should to finish a master's. It's my life and I wouldn't want it any other way.

    Also, I love hockey.

    I've been meaning to study Maritime/Naval history but haven't got around to it yet. I know very little, mostly about press gangs and such. I tend towards the eighteenth century but am very fond of the Napoleonic era as well.

    There are things I enjoy (music, walking- since I can't run anymore, poetry-reading or writing it). But as far as passion, geriatric healthcare. It's what I do. And I now have three different jobs in this. So my time is full and well spent.

    Mine are drawing and cooking. I would love to make a living doing either one. Hopefully someday I will.
