❤️🔥“Passions” is a weird word.
The word's latin roots connote suffering; “that which must be endured”. Yet the word has come to mean the things we find lifegiving. I would propose this is no accident: the sources of our joy must necessarily consume us.
My primary passions remain code and writing. Yet I cannot fully be myself without the following; like writing, like coding, they consume me, and in doing so, bring me great joy.
