Your passion can be influenced, but this is about when your passion influences you. We all have things we like. Things we like to see, like to feel, like to taste, and like hear. It’s too easy to hide your passion in a secret place, a place of protection, and to put on a mask that fits societies norms. Try to remember those norms we see are an “accepted” mix of likes. There are things you can do that harm no one and encourage new norms.

You wear a white shirt to work but love the color blue. You can find ways to bring that color in, it feels good to set little things to your own preferences. Customize as much as you can to your passions. Surround yourself with what you want and beautify your world. I watched a lot of Casey Neistat on YouTube and absolutely love his way of just hammering things out to fit his own style. I have preferences and would watch him spray paint new shades and mess them up to fit him.

It’s Inspiring to see that and a breath of fresh air. It would remind me that I still had a way to go to open up to what I liked, even the small things could be adjusted cosmetic and simple, but still amazing. Just let that little bit of you slip out. I love to see different tastes in different items or clothes. Silly but even blog writing is a form of customizing and sharing your ideas.

Cars are all about this, as an extension of the driver personal steads are a great way to show your flair. From the Honda with the loud muffler to the classic hotrod with custom welding and paint. The sky is only limited by the capability. I don’t subscribe to hating on cars that have lesser mods. Each person has their own story, and not everyone has the same wealth, experience, or preference. The community should grow to love both.

I’d love to watch old hotrodders teach young kids how to weld their own intercooler piping and see the younger crowd show the older groups how to rewire, flash, and possibly understand the pull to hatch backs not just classic cars. There should be no reason car culture can’t be open to all. People should be more excited about seeing stuff that’s different. Broaden your horizons and don’t be scared to show what your about customize everything from your shirt to your car; it’s your life.
