Passion

So I've been thinking a lot about what my passion in life is. Since my life is no longer consumed by an eating disorder and I am no longer disillusioned by thinking I am meant to cure the world of anorexia and bulimia I've been contemplating what I am truly passionate about, until I came across this video.


One Heart Movie from Eterne Films on Vimeo.

Every time I watch this video I get goosebumps. It's such a simple concept, believing in someone. Yet it's something I've struggled with my whole life. Never thinking I was good enough for anyone and doing anything possible, including almost killing myself, just to get someone to tell me that they loved me or they cared. It wasn't until I went into treatment this last time that I realized there are people that care about me and believe that I am worth it, no matter what I've done in my past. I am amazed at how many kids are out there searching for that same thing and acting out in order to get it. While others write these people off as troubled or hopeless, I now look at them with a different set of eyes. I think God helped get me through my struggles in order to share the message I learned with others beyond the world of eating disorders. After I graduate college I'd love to work with at risk youth and share the message that God shared with me...I believe in you, and you are worth it.
