The importance of passion

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, and you'll just might find, you'll get what you need


I'm not going to lie, I love to procrastinate. Sometimes the feeling that you are free to do what YOU want is much more satisfactory than having finished some task. I know it's not good to procrastinate because you should face your fears or it is better in the end having finished what you needed to do. But it feels o so good to just relax do nothing and think about how much you need to get starting.

There are two things in life which (some people disagree with) I think should be done. Going to the hairdressers and going to the dentist.

The dentist meant for me, a fun place with a nice lady who asked me to perform simple tasks. And for being a good boy I got to take with a toy and after that we would go to the market and get some yummy food for when my jaw stopped numbing from the anaesthesia. Basically I had a lot of cavities when i was a small child, but I didn't mind because the dentist's experience was great! 

After a couple of years my dentist had had a few baby's and eventually decided to move into orthodontology. But since I never needed any braces I haven't seen her for a long time now. I now have a new dentist. He's fine but not as nice or the environment is as great as it was at dentist number 1. 

Then you have hairdressers,  I think they have one of the if not the most interesting job of the world. They decide how your hair looks! It doesn't seem that big of a deal but it can really determine how people look at you but more importantly how you see yourself. They're always chatty and want a good experience, something dentists would also want but usually cannot achieve. Hairdressers talk about your life and how it's going and just trying to persuade you to get the latest(and most expensive) shampoos and other products. But a handful of these hairdressers are genuinely interested in your hair and are very talented and want to really know you, the person underneath all the hair. 

I have bad experiences with hairdressers, trying to persuade me into a look which I never intended to take. I always come up with a plan of how my hair should look like but they always convince me with their trump card: they are hairdresser after all so they should now best on how your hair will look. And I always fell for it.

But about a year ago I asked the mother of a friend of mine to cut my hair, and it was amazing! She actually did a pretty good job and she is someone who i genuinely like and care about. But then she was very busy and I was also busy and I was at a dead end, who should cut my hair?

One day my mom asked if I wanted to come to her hairdresser, and I've never ever met someone in my life who is as talented and caring of my hair as her. And now I feel on top of the world if I get a haircut, it's a great experience for me at this moment, and I hope that doesn't change.

In conclusion the opinion of a certain task can very much be determined by who is performing but also that love and passion goes above all else to reach a goal in the best way possible
