"The thirst experienced from lacking curiosity and passion feels like walking through the Sahara searching for an oasis." - this is profound, and true. For me, I have had periods in my life where my curiosity was killed by the minutia of busy-ness. It is like experiencing dehydration, but for the creativity of the mind.
I really enjoyed reading your post, because I used to do whatever I wanted because it made me feel satisfied and happy although it was misleading as you mentioned, but it was at least the way I perceived it at that phase of my life. Then the life taught me a lesson :), so I stopped seeking happiness, I kept myself busy, and told myself, happiness doesn't matter and that what the life goes around.
what I really love to do is to love and be loved, go around the world with him enjoying adventures and nature

Dehydration of creativity in the mind. Absolutely love that take. Thanks, Colette.
"So rather than seeking happiness, love, and passion in an activity — explore what expresses who you are, and you’ll have found a bottomless source."
Beautifully put Niall. Drawing and, to a lesser extent, writing do that for me. I've recently rediscovered both and life is all the sweeter for it!
Thank you for sharing your work with the world.
Appreciate your kind words, Ayakin! Keep expressing yourself through your creativity :)
Love what you do and do what you love and you’ll work everyday of your life and for most of them you’ll have a smile on your face

That’s another question. Who am I ☺️
I think you know. You said it in the last sentence of your first comment :)
Ya an activity can often feel pleasurable but pleasure isn't always the best guide. Keep doing what feels like an expression of who you are :)
