Yesterday someone asked me- “what are the things in your life, that when you do them, you forget you have to go to the bathroom?”. It sounds silly, I know. But upon the question being posed, I couldn’t help but smile. I think that’s the best question I’ve heard in a long time because it is asked with the understanding that we all, deep down, have a passion for something. Some of us may still be discovering what that is, and others might be realizing that passion is changing- but regardless, it does exist in all of us if we have the courage to discover it.
Days on set, for me, fall into what my very long answer would be… 5 years ago, I dreamt of photo studios and laughter behind the scenes, and every once in a while, I get to live moments like that now in the life I am working to build. Spaces such as these make 3 hours feel like 5 minutes, and as the question asks- I’m never all that worried about bathroom breaks, but instead just a quick sip of coffee before the next shot.
This is just one of many things that allows me to get lost in time, but what a blessing it is to have discovered the meaning it holds in my life.
We all have meaning here- even when it doesn’t feel like it. So, what’s yours? What do you do or talk about that makes you forget to take a break- not out of obligation, but out of passion?
