About a year ago, one of my roommates was questioning passions. She's a deep thinker, this roommate. She asks perceptive questions while others make small talk, and she's more often than not ruminating on something. She asked me if I knew what my passion was, thereby immediately directing my attention, as she is so often able to do with just one question, to my own internal goings-on I hadn't been so attuned to.
I've forgotten my answer by now, because her response meant so much more: She told me she always thought my passion was fitness, and not just in my work in health journalism, but in the way I live my life, in the way I care about others.
I didn't necessarily disagree. A love for soccer as a kid morphed into a more focused http://bit.ly/1LljNzy
