Why being an animatarian does not qualify as passion in Pakistan?

Yes, it’s true (sorry if it shocks you) I might not come very passionate about what I did or do. Why potential has to make money? Why passion has to fill a bank account?

So many things I did to make money since I was 10. Then professionally when I was 18. Is there anything left?

Rented out my books when I was 10…Made and sold homemade ink remover when I was 11…Scribbled clothing designs for women when I was 12…Painted and sold when I was 18…Taught kids when I was 19…Became a professional dress designer when I was 30…Became an art director for TV when I was 37.

I did everything for you. To please you. To qualify for your approval.

And all those things you said I had the ‘potential’ of…

But did any of these satisfy me? Gave me a purpose of life? Made me want to wait for next morning? Brought a smile on my face?

Was any of this I was passionate about?

I kept going on and on in pursuit of passion and joy and you thought I was a loser.

Then I reached the burnout after my millionth nervous breakdown, yes I died at 40.

.

Darkness…

Disconnection…

.

Then you know what made me truly happy? What brought life to me? What made my eyes water? What made me live for another day?

…feeding stray animals

…taking injured animals to the vet for treatment

…sheltering new born abandoned kittens

…helping an old woman cross the heavy road

…listening to and spending time with lonely old people

…sending a poor child to school

…distributing food among the poor on the roads

…giving the disabled people money to survive at least a day

That’s what I am passionate about (even though it doesn’t pay the bills) and I am not going to care how many of you are repeatedly disappointed in me for not being ‘successful’ (according to your definition of success). I am not going to care when you roll your eyes at me thinking your millions of rupees salary makes you more successful than I. (And yet you say you don’t have money. Shame)

If I have that kinda money, my dear, I won’t let a single soul, whether a human or an animal, sleep hungry at night.

THAT’S MY PASSION

Now please, go away. I have to feed my cats now.
