To be honest, I am not sure what I am passionate about. I can see my potential passions being such as dance and drawing or painting, but since I have not taken them seriously over the past years, I would not classify them as being passions for me. If dance were to be serious (as in me going to dance classes or being on an official dance team), then I could see dance being a passion. I am open to learning different genres.
The types I like as of right now are Hip-hop and Afro-beats. The same thing applies to art. I stopped drawing a few years ago, so if I were to be consistent, it is possible that drawing could also be a passion. I have been dancing and drawing since I was younger (since elementary). I do not remember when I started dancing, but I would be a part of shows from my afterschool to perform at different places. Other than hip-hop and Afro beats, I have learned a little from different genres such as ballet, modern dance, tap dancing, and more.
For drawing, I do not know when I drew for myself but I was decent at it since I would have assignments and projects for school. Also, when I drew for myself, I would draw from what I saw on the internet and draw as precisely from what I saw. I did not draw realistically as in drawing people (unless they were cartoons or anime characters) or drawing at the moment what I saw in real life.
After reading What is a Passion? it confirmed that art and dance are not passions for me as of right now. I say this because passion “refers to a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement either from something or about doing something”. With the 10 steps of how to find your passion, I am open to looking into it to help me.
What I liked about the reading was that not only does it give tips for finding your passion and what to do after you find your passion, but it also differentiates the difference between passions and hobbies. People tend to associate their hobbies with their passions (there is nothing wrong with that) but not realizing that your hobbies do not have to be your passion. Overall, this reading can help me dig deeper into exploring other passions and/or taking my potential passions seriously.

Great work on this!
I love how you have explained this, how sometimes hobbies can be hobbies, and not always fall under the passion category! I feel that writing things out is so helpful with these kinds of exercises. We have some many conversations with ourselves in our own heads.. lol, all day long, but sometimes things seem more real once we share them with others, or post them out there in the world, like on a website like ct101! Thank you!
Great GIFS!
Thank you. I liked reading the article because it made me realize the distinction between hobbies and passions.
Fun!
