That’s where I come in … Most the time when I’m travelling my love for music comes out, and my headphones are glued to my ears. But every now and again I get curious. Curious enough to make conversation with a stranger and ‘break the silence’. So back to the humid, musky train. I’m stood there swaying left to right trying not to fall over and look like a tit. Four people are stood around me, most tall gents in suits wearing headphones. However… one poor soul didn’t have any headphones. A lovely lady every now and again checked her phone but seemed focussed on guarding this huge black bag – which almost seemed like an instrument bag but in the completely wrong shape. SO I thought I’d ask what it was. Yes… ask what it was… “ARE YOU MAD?!”. I can hear you saying it in your head now. Moments later she’d got out the most magnificent board for an interior design brief. I’m holding this huge chunk of wood with squares of soft carpet, intricate wall paper and more! I was just asking questions and making conversation to pass the time, but I actually found myself quite invested in this lady’s work. Not because of what the subject was, she actually ended up asking if I was attending the national interior design conference, when in reality I couldn’t care less. Actually, it was her PASSION.
But also listen to others… Passion is the best drug money can’t buy.
Love what you love. Listen to what others love. Own it and make the most of this incredible emotion. |
