Megan’s Credo

Megan Duret–Holdingford High School

I believe in passion.

I believe in the undying and irrevocable love for something that consumes your  your whole being. I have faith in the idea everyone has something worth dying for, and more importantly, worth living for.  I believe without this passion for something–anything–life is utterly unlivable. Everyone needs something to need. Something that exudes through your veins, and flows from a place deep within; something that blossoms from the abyss within the soul and travels every inch of your being to make you feel alive. Whether it travels to your fingertips to stroke the strings of a guitar or to your lips to speak the words to live by, passion is perpetual bliss. Passion is the thirst for more, more of what you love. An aching and a lust from deep within that every living soul that has ever allowed itself to live has found is essential to happiness–more importantly to life. I believe in this with an absolute certainty; there is nothing more desirable than having something to desire. And I vow to live each day seeking this great passion, until the earth-shattering, pivotal moment in which I find what I am looking for.
