I am a multi-passionate and I can feel what you talk about. Sometimes it is really hard for me. I feel like I'm missing out on other passions. So I started focusing on the writing, which I love so much. I indulge in other passions like art, as a reward once every week. Working good for me, till now.
On every Uber ride I take, I always talk to the driver and listen to their stories.
Surprise surprise, even the not talkative ones eventually warm up (I'm good at poking people) and talk about a myriad of topics. And then there's this one or two HUGE passions they have.
I believe the future is bright for those of us who accept how multifaceted we can be. It has worked wonders in my professional life, but the tricky part is to glue it all together and give it a good direction.
Life without passions (and obsessions) is not life.
That's so nice of you to converse with lonely drivers. And I agree! We all need some sort of activity that makes us look forward to each day. Thanks for sharing your story. And thank you so much for reading!
Awww, thank you so much for the mention and the recommendation, Harshini! 🥰 It means so much to me! 💚
Also: I highly recommend the book, “Refuse to Choose” by Barbara Sher. She’s got a ton of super-practical tips in there for both living and working as a multi-passionate! (she calls us “Scanners”)

Great to hear that and thank you for reading! What kind of artwork do you create?
Mostly, watercolors and sometimes oil painting.

Finding time is indeed difficult but we need to take it easy once in a while, not to stress ourselves.
