The Leya Experience #6 | what is wrong

it's all about passion

People may say it’s my adoptive background that makes me do multiple activities at the time. I’m a writer, a researcher, a dancer and an influencer, I play keyboard, guitar and produce some music. Next to that I often attend classes and courses in Law and Politics. As a sport I dance and practice yoga. I know it’s insane, but I don’t do it all in one week. 

What does it have to do with being adopted? According to one of many therapists it’s the not knowing that makes me take on multiple activities. It’s also a restlessness that makes me search for new challenges and get bored too soon.

I think I just like too many things. I don’t think you should only do one thing. A person can have more interests and I don’t see anything wrong with that. It’s just different. Seems like I need to defend being allround, while people should be happy I’m able to do all those things.

It’s quiet now to be honest, mostly because I’m more working on my research. I turn to my music when I need to let go of the information I’ve gathered with my writings and research. The dancing is continuous and the yoga optional when I need peace.

Still, now that I am 43, I still feel the need to defend myself. Despite the fact that I am able to make a living as an online writer. A content creator as they call it now, but I consider myself as a writer and dancer most of the time.

It is a wonderful profession, but still people give me the feeling there’s something wrong with that. I write. What do you do? It still keeps me going, it’s still what I am passionate about just like my dancing.

It’s not about being adopted, it’s about passion, because when you’ve lost everything, passion is what keeps you going.

Love and light,

Leya
