Hey Pandas! What Is Something That You Have A Passion For?
Everyone has some kind of passion, it could be gardening, making music, drawing, or anything like that! :)

I love killing lawns and turning them into gardens. I run a charity that asks homeowners to donate their backyards, then I bring in volunteers and we grow gardens. We give all of the produce away to food-insecure families in our city. Last year we gave away four tons of food. I started this four years ago and I've never been happier.
Kinda weird, but I love researching things that most people don’t know about and just learning and attempting to figure out the unknown in general
I have multiple, so I'll list them in the order they occur to me
Crochet. I LOVE Crochet. I started when I was two or three, and the student (me) has surpassed the teacher. (my mom). Recently a family friend and writer saw some of my work and offered to give me a page on her website! I've jumped at the chance. I'll post a link to her home page, and my page that's on her site, in the comments
I also enjoy writing! I'm working on a suspense thriller/light horror at the moment.
Gardening! I've been working in the garden with my parents since the womb! I've also turned that into a business, and will be seeing my first client this week!
Art. It is so relaxing and rewarding. my sister trusted me with some body art she wanted. (Not tattoos, just body markers) I've done three separate murals for two different people, and am coming up on a third.
Cooking is awesome! I don't bake though. They always turn out flat and dense
Music!! I play 10 different instruments and got my own guitar yesterday!
I've also recently started dabbling in basket making and broom making.
And I'll end this list with READING.
I like to write ✒️📒 (started out with a truth-or-dare, very cliche fanfiction, but now I'm working on an original novel), read books 📚 (I LOVE books), draw/paint 🎨 (both digitally and on paper), design covers graphically 📗 (I had a cover shop for a while, and some of them were pretty good for an amateur) and play games 🎮 on my tablet, and watch TV 📺.
Bit random but making the shapes on top of coffees with cocoa powder. I have discovered my talent!
Cooking and baking and feeding people. I love making bread. My favorite phrase is "here, try this!"
I don’t really have a talent exactly. But! I’m passably good at most things that I try. I can play piano and clarinet pretty okay. I sew, knit, and crochet. I vinyl wrap cars. I have a bunch of hobbies. I’m not particularly skilled at any one thing but I’m decent enough at what I do.
My problem is I have too many! My family is pretty unusual in their passions and it's been passed down to me. Here are a couple:
1. Writing
2. Fantasy Photography
3. Sailing
4. Blacksmithing (no joke, we're having a forge put in next month)
5. Music (I play two instruments but my family average is 5)
6. Archery
7. Ceramics and potttery
8. Fire performance (Fire breathing and spinning)
Flying, and just generally going fast. Also, bundling my friends into my 152 Skyhawk and pranking them is pretty god-damned funny. (*Pulls out fake lever, with the words 'do not pull' printed on it in all caps* "oh. Hope that wasn't important".) (*Turns around and starts rummaging in the back after putting the plane into a dive. Comes back with a book, with the words 'Flying for dummies' printed in big orange letters*). Seriously though never agree to get in a plane with me i will terrify you and then laugh.
trying new foods and drawing!! I tried natto a few days ago lol, didnt like it much. STILL GLAD I TRIEDIT
Writing! One of my friends started writing a whole bunch, and they wanted me to write with them. They don't write as much anymore because school.
I don't know why I like it, I just do.
Singing! It sounds so basic but I love it more than anything else in the whole wide world! 😄
Caring for and experimenting with Blobs (Physarum Polycephalum)
Watching documentaries about serial killers and cults
Drawing
Writing
Learning japanese
makeup! i have been doing my makeup since i was 11 years old. i would absolutely love to be a makeup artist! im going to study makeup and business, id love to own a salon and a makeup brand someday! thankfully my parents finally supported me :)
Writing. I want sooo badly to get into art too, but I have little talent for that!
People in my life think it's painting, but I'm more passionate about the paranormal, interior design, travelling, exploration and natural disasters.
(I feel so trapped and constricted in this place.)
BASKETBALL! I’ve been playing since I was seven, and I absolutely LOVE the sport. also keeping straight A’s in school 😂
I love to do watercolour shadowboxes, as well as acting, and other forms of the Arts. I love gardening, and birdwatching, and I love bees! (Although I don’t have a hive of my own)
I love doing archery and teaching people how to do it. I actually just got my first gold medal in indoor shooting.
I have a very, I repeat VERY big passion for cooking! I wish to open a restaurant of my very own in the future!
ARCHITECTURE! My favorite style is probably mid-century modern or contemporary. I like to drive around and judge the houses I pass by. One of my favorite pastimes is looking at terribly executed houses on the internet and raising my blood pressure. Most of these houses feature Palladian windows, an abundance of turrets, and unwanted pillars...bleh.
Music. I’ve been doing choir and band at school for 4 years and I love it. It’s my birthday today and I’m literally wearing a dress with music notes all over it just to prove I love music
"If you push a 50 kg friend on a swing with a 100 N force for 2 seconds, How fast do you get them to swing" dont tell my science teacher i tried to cheat and search it up
I really love photography 📸 I just love getting the perfect picture. Or, I have these watercolor marker things that make gorgeous pictures!
The paranormal, mainly. I can have long conversations with people on theories, personal experiences, ideas, etc.
Efficiency. There is no theoretical minimum energy needed for a round trip. Major waste is everywhere, making profits.
A lifelong passion/obsession with vinyl records. My record collection will never be complete because there is always, always a new release or a missing single/E.P./album...
Rummaging through record fairs and record shops is utter bliss- because there is always a gem to be found.
It's not a cheap hobby at all- but that moment where the needle drops and you are overwhelmed by the intro to a cherished piece of music- or a new and exciting piece of music- it's worth every penny......
I have lots of passions, but some of the more notable ones are products of my combined love of shopping (thrift, yard sales, etc), traveling and exploring, history, nature, fun and games, and arts/crafts…. such as, I collect ALL sorts of miniature things, historical knick knacks, vintage photos, postcards and artsy print items; I enjoy creating explorative things like time capsules and geocaches, and scavenger hunts/ treasure maps for my kids; I design and sell unique decorative magnets out of the things I find; I play around with gags and pranks; I collect certain kinds of rocks, some of which I paint and then leave in various places along my travels; and right now, my #1 passion is building my 9-hole miniature golf course in my backyard (a dream since childhood).
I just re-read my list and realize I’m either pretty creative or pretty weird. Or both, more likely. I’m ok with that, I feel lucky to be to enjoy silly things like these. So many people are so damn sensitive and serious, like they’re adverse to feeling joyful. I’m 51 years old and I’m never bored, always working on something that makes me (and others, often times, too) happy. Maybe one day you’ll see a trace of me: I have been known to permanently adhere sparkles and gems in funny and/or very public places,
something I forgot to mention in my post was that I love to write! I have several already finished novels in my pocket, I just haven’t had the courage to send them to a publisher yet. I have sent the products to friends, teachers, relatives, etc….. and they have all said that they loved them and they were professional quality (idk abt that 😂), but yeah, I rlly want to get them published but I have a fear of rejection ig. Anyway, great posts u guys! I love how many different passions there are out there :D
Yes, all you guys had great posts! Thanks for sharing your passions! There are 5 days left in this post so if you have a passion, be sure to share it! Thanks for posting everyone!
