Hello!
My name is Crystal, and this is my entry. I'm sorry for bombarding you with cheesy lines and wannabe poetry, but here it is:


Passion is a very ambiguous word, yet the main use of it is to tell the story of one's strong feeling towards something.

That something, to me, is art. I hold art very dear to me, as it is the gravitational force of my very being. Art manifests itself in many forms, whether it's performances or physical, which is why it's so beautiful. Yet the beauty of art is not the only thing that compels me to rest my head on its arms- that reason is because art is comfort.

I've heard stories of people, bragging that they've done art since they could hold a pencil. Me? I definitely wasn't one of those people. Throughout elementary school, I excelled in math and science. Art was merely a task that needed to be done on certain projects. But people change, as seasons do. I remember going over to a friend's house, asking her what we were going to do that day. She put on Sailor Moon for me to watch. My seven-year-old mind was blown- and I was enrapt in the sparkling rainbow lights of the animation. From that day, I decided that I wanted to be an artist.

Now, I am an artist. My art is a part of me. Try as hard as I can, I can't escape- nor am I willing to- from the fresh scent of a new sketchbook, or the vibrant paints on my hand stretched canvases. I can't escape the urge to create- to leave a part of me on the earth when my body has decayed. I find solace knowing that even when my physical being is nothing more than a forgotten memory, my art will remain as an everlasting piece of humanity. When my mind becomes nothing but a vast, aphotic breadth, art is there. Art acts as a gentle mother, arms open wide. Art allows me to find a safe place amongst the apocryphal war inside of my chest.

I recently applied for CSSSA, a distinguished art summer school. I wanted to attend their animation program to propel myself towards achieving my dream of becoming an animator. I tried to perfect my application pieces, working for months on end. Early May brought application letters, and disappointments. I was rejected. I was absolutely crushed. I felt that- even though I put out my best work and worked myself to exhaustion- I wasn't good enough. After that, picking up a pencil was one of the most difficult things for me to do, simply because I told myself that I was worthless because my art wasn't good enough.

But I did end up picking up that pencil. I did end up drawing those streaks of graphite. And now, I'm awaiting Sunday, where I'm to stand up on a grand stage and accept a trophy for my art.

Thank you for listening to my story.

Hello!

One thing I'm very passionate about is art.
Art is something that I discovered when I was a child; curiosity led me to explore it and well, satisfaction brought me back. Animation has always intrigued me, whether it takes shape as princess movies, Saturday morning cartoons, or obscure anime. Though I have always loved expressing myself through different art forms, I am most passionate about animation, which has always been closest to my heart. When I was a kid, I used to create flip books and toyed around with stop motion animation. I often dreamed about how the pictures were brought to life and was intensely curious about how my favorite characters moved in fluid motions. I began to design unique characters and experiment with perspective and composition at an early age, and have moved on to experimenting with Adobe Flash and computer-generated images. I am still a sophomore in high school but I have attended many summer camps.

One summer, I spent 6 hours a day drawing for 10 weeks straight. I would ride the train for 30 minutes, then switch to a bus. I walked the rest of the way as my class was a city away from where I lived. When I got home, I would practice until 2 in the morning. I woke up at 6 every day. Though I do consider myself as not very hardworking, I pour all of my effort in art.

Thank you for listening to my story :)

If it's possible, I would love either:
1. UR cinnamon roll
2. Sunback

    Hi! My name is Kaneki;

    Now, A lot of people probably have the same topic as I do, but it doesn't mean we all feel the same about it. I am very passionate about art. As a kid, I used to doodle a lot. I loved making my friends and family pictures. Both of my parents were amazing artists, and I hope that one day I can be as good as they are. I've have a lot of struggles on my art journey.. I have troubles with proportioning, so sometimes it may come out weird. I was always made fun of by my brothers, which in affect I stopped drawing for over a year. But I had forgotten how much I absolutely loved art. I got back on Deviantart and ended up browsing for hours, favoriting tons of pieces. It is so beautiful to me, and how much effort that is put into some pieces just makes me feel inspired. Artwork always makes me want to pick up a pencil and just draw ANYTHING. My family sometimes gets annoyed of me honestly, because I'll always be running up to them showing them a picture of some beautiful art, or I'll be pulling out all my parents old art from under their bed and admiring them. Art makes me excited and happy. It's hard to even explain the feeling I get when I'm looking at art or making art. It's truly amazing.

    Passion #2

    I have.. an interesting second passion. This passion, is love. Not like your typical romance love, but every type of love there is. I think it is the most beautiful thing ever. When I was younger, probably about 9, I was one of the only kids in my neighborhood to actually grasp the concept of true love. Love isn't just about saying you love someone because they're your significant other, love isn't about saying you love someone just because they hang out with you and call you a friend, love isn't about saying you love your relative just because they're family. Love is when you have a deep connection with someone. You would do anything for that person, because you DO love them, not because you say you love them, but because you can feel it. Love means you accept a person even if they have flaws, you see past them because of what you feel for them. When I see acts of love, it makes me get all emotional honestly. A lot of families , friendships and relationships these days aren't really stitched together with love. It's rare to see someone truly love another one anymore, or to at least show love to another. There are more people who love violence and dramatic fights than people who love to make another one happy or show peace.

    Maybe the reason why I'm so passionate about love is because there isnt enough in this world. Maybe it's just one of my quirks. Whatever it is, it makes me strive to show love to anyone I can. Who knows what a person goes through in their daily life, maybe a small comment or a big action could help someones bad day get brighter, and knowing that I've actually helped people through bad days, helps me get through my bad days. We need more love in the world. Real love. And I will try my best to show love to every single person I meet, to make them feel better and to make myself feel better. <3

Hello! One thing I am very passionate about is singing. My sister is going through a brain surgery soon and I don't know how to cope with the feelings. It's really hard. The way i can release some of my emotions is singing. I've gotten a few solos in choir but I am told by my brother that "I suck at singing and I need to stop" it's hard but I know that it's my passion and I can't quit

I'm a little confused by what you said. I think it is your main wish list so

1. Scourge
2. A OMGSR
3. A very rare

I am passionate about my horses. And no mom it's not a phase. No dad it's not just a kid thing. It's my life.
Everything is falling apart but I can trust my horses. They are there for me. When I feel like my brain is going to explode and my limbs will give up on me they are there. And sure telling people "oh! I ride an elderly mustang and a tiny pony" doesn't sound very interesting but it's my life.

Reno. He's 20 and I can only start to think of what he did before I met him. He was a wild mustang in Nevada. And he is like my therapy horse. Before I met him I was in pieces about the death of my old pony star. And I met him and even though he can't actually. He dragged me out of a pit where I was going nowhere. And sure, he can't jump 4 feet, he can't gallop laps and laps. But what he can do is so so much better. I've been very sick for the past few months from and autoimmune disease. And then first time I got to ride I'm from getting better was the best day of my life to date. I ride him bareback and he was perfect, as always, but it was also kinda magical. I was alone at my barn, it's was 6 at night so the sun was going there and I was with Reno. And I couldn't have been happier at that point. It was just me and him and I couldn't stop smiling. It was like I could forget about every problem I had.

I go to the barn every week because it's an hour away from me. And it makes me so happy going there and just doing chores. Working with Reno, feeding horses, sweeping. Anything. It's like heaven. And working with cookie. Cookie is the little pony I started training last year. He is a Shetland pony cross and I relate to him in so many ways. We are both small balls of anxiety and stress, and if I eat gluten and he eats sugar we both have a problem. He makes me smile so much too. I got to ride him for the first time a while ago as well. We had such a connection it make all the training pay off. It was probably the only time I will ever ride him because he is so small but I was overjoyed.

I'm hoping in the future I can continue with my dreams of owning a horse, and working with horses for a living.
I don't think it's possible to share how happy these horses make me and how much it affects my life but I hope you see it

My Passion for Camping
Ever since I was very young I have always loved going camping with my dad and th rest of my family. We camp on the edge of a dam and bring plenty kayachs and fishing rods and plenty more love. My main hobby is fishing which I normally do while I'm out on an old, tin boat with my friends and family. This hobby has brought me and my friends so close together we are practically family.

When I was eight my father passed away in a car crash and I stopped contributing to my love of camping. It was a very ruff few years but I know he would like me to continue contributing to what we loved doing most, so I did. I now go an regular camping trips with my large group of friends. It's easy to get out the past and look forward to the present and future when I have my 'family' there to comfort me.

We all love camping and would love to do it more than we already do, which is about four times every year. It's about a forty minute drive to the closest dam to us but it doesn't stop us from enjoying every part of the car trip. I can now put up a tent on my own, and start a fire by myself, but I don't enjoy anywhere near as far as I do when I'm with my friends, out on the dam fishing in kayachs.


I am applying for:
1.UR Cinnabun
2.Sunback
3.Orange Cerb

Thank you so much for making something like this. It really helped me spill my emotions out onto the page. Though I nearly cried in the second paragraph, I haven't felt so happy in a while. Me and my friends and family are going camping in a week actually. It should be great!

Dungeons & Dragons

Postby malkav, » Sat May 06, 2017 2:39 pm

      ----- I never knew what I was passionate about until my dad handed me an empty, freshly-printed Dungeons & Dragons character sheet, and uttered the three words that revolutionized my world: "Choose your class."

      ----- Dungeons & Dragons, if you weren't aware, is the popular fantasy role-playing system where you take on the part of an adventurer, battling against evil wizards and gluttonous dragons. It seems silly and, well, 'nerdy' - even I thought that, at first - but as you play, you learn how important something as little as this can become for a person like me.

      ----- I've been suffering from a couple mental health issues, including severe depression, since I was a small child. It's just something that was dealt to me at birth, that I just had to learn to live with. I'll admit, it was hard at first. But whenever I sat down at the table, grabbed my twenty-sided die, and whipped out a character sheet, I was able to ignore it. The problems of the real world were washed away, and I was able to live a completely different life, free of the sorrow and strife that shadowed me. Instead of worrying about how I would feel in a few minutes, an hour, a day, I could focus on how I was going to sneak past the sleeping dragon to steal its crown jewel. I could focus on being a fitting king to my kingdom, on saving the villagers from the raiding bandit camp, on being free. Free to live in a whole new, fantastical world, where not even the sky could hold me back - there were no limits.

      ----- So, I'm passionate about Dungeons & Dragons. I'm passionate about this because it has helped me through some of the darkest times in my life. I'm passionate about this because I get to share momentous memories of fantastical adventures with those I love and care about. And, finally, I'm passionate about it because I don't know where I would be if I hadn't made my first character all those years ago.
