Three Passions (Workshop 3)

Draw, literature and music have something in common. First of all the three are considered beautiful arts. Second: I enjoy them a lot! I am a student of architecture, currently on my seventh semester, and as many architects I am a wannabe-artist. Three of my passions are drawing, reading and listening to music. Now I will give you a quick insight into why I love these things.

I am crazy about drawing. It’s a way for me to stress release and express those things that I’m not capable of saying out loud. When I was younger I was having a lot of problems trying to speak my mind and the situation at home was not as good as I would want it to be. A professor of mine one day suggested me to draw whenever I felt anything and was not able of sharing it. I’ve drawn since I can remember so I thought it would be a good idea so I started drawing. At first it was my own way of therapy, but with the time I started to get really good at tit until one day, at high school, I started having my own galleries where I showed my art.

Another of my big passions is reading. Though I love to read, it is really difficult for me to find a good book that would make me read it from first to last page without doing anything else. I try to read at least one book per month, sometimes I can read three sometimes I just read one depending on the amount of work I have. For me, literature, or writing, is another way to express those things that are in your head and you’re not capable of saying out loud. I like to believe that every time I read a book, I’m sneaking into the mind of the writer.

The third passion I am going to share is listening to music. At this point of my life I haven’t met someone who doesn’t like music. But I have found people with different likes and almost all of them dislike the music I listen to. By the way, I don’t care of what people thinks. I love Fall Out Boy, one of the first band’s I ever listen to and still my favorite. Music is a big part of my life. If I am doing homework, sometimes when I am reading, even when I am taking baths I love to listen to music. I think that music is also a big part of who I am. Sometimes lyrics penetrate my head and some other times my heart and soul. There are some songs that I feel like where written specially for me. Is it just me or does it happens to someone else? I need to get identify with either music or lyrics in order to get in love with a band or a song. I don’t know, maybe I am just crazy and I feel someone is talking to me through the things I enjoy.

I love these three things. Sometimes I do one at a time, sometimes one inspires me to do the other one. Anyways, they’re a big part of me and of my life. Does it happen to you?
