Lost In Translation

Somehow, i feel that i've lost part of my passion. Passion for writing, for reflections, for certain things in life that i hold dear. It partly explains my relative inactivity on this blog. Anyway, the other reason is the incessant tests and essays dued during the past week.
J once commented that i am too passionate, and that i should cut down on it and be more practical and pragmatic. That comment tore right through me. Telling me to lose part of that passion is akin to telling me to lose a part of my identity. Not to say that she was totally wrong, but rather i think there's a need to balance things out. Too much of anything is never good. Money and Sex included.
