It's funny that that's today's prompt, because today I'm not feeling particularly passionate about anything. Today's a day of resting and relaxing - winter break is ending in only a few days - and I don't have a ton of energy to expend on anything at all. I don't like talking about things I'm passionate about on days where I'm not necessarily feeling the passion, because I don't want to come off uncaring or even have someone not understand that, really, I'm an incredibly passionate person. (Or... at least I believe I am. I don't really play a comparison game, so it's always a weird thing for me to call myself passionate. But I do honestly believe I am. Okay, anyway.) But I'm shooting for it anyway.
After much thought, I think that I've come up with my top 5. But honestly, each one deserves its own post.

And now, for Day 6!
What is your dream job, and why?
I actually don't think I have a dream job. Really, I think I have multiple dream jobs. And, to stretch even further...I have several dream jobs that don't even exist.
Day 5: when today should be Day 6
Well, I missed a day yesterday. The morning and afternoon were busy, and by the time I had post-dinner down time, I was feeling terrible with a headache and nausea and watched TV with the family before going to bed.
In the meantime, I'm going to try to post twice today and get back where I should be!
Today's post: "Something that excites you and fills you with joy."

"10 things you would tell your 16-year-old self"
Wow.
High school was less than kind on me, as is true for...well, basically everyone I know. I've written about my experience with bullying before, and everything that happened there. That was far from being the only thing that I was dealing with during high school. Much like everyone else, there were boy issues, social issues, self-esteem issues...the list goes on.
This post took me all day to write, mostly because I wasn't exactly sure what I would tell myself during high school. I had problems out my ears and definitely needed a lot of advice and counsel, but at the same time...I'm so thankful for the things that I had to learn the hard way.
But I'm going to give it my best shot anyway. So, a trip to 11th grade, here we go.

"Describe Your Relationship With Your Parents"
This is one post that I've been wanting to write for a long time, and so obviously I was incredibly excited when I saw it on the list. My parents are basically superheroes. Like, seriously.
I really have been blessed with a good and strong relationship with both of my parents. I think a lot of it goes back to the fact that they have a great relationship with each other. Seriously, they really do. After almost 35 years of marriage, I've heard both of them say that it gets better and better with time and practice, and that they love each other more now than they did before. Talk about #relationshipgoals, I'm telling you. Every time I see that hashtag on Twitter or Instagram, I just laugh and think, "let me tell you about my parents..." They have a marriage that makes everyone else want to get married and have a great marriage too!

"Something You Regret Not Having Done Last Year"
The second prompt of this writing challenge.
2. Something You Regret Not Having Done Last Year
Wow. That's a difficult prompt. All at once, there are many things, and yet nothing. I'm not someone who dwells on things I regret doing or not doing, because, truly, I want to live a life without regretting anything. Things that would be regrets to others are things I simply acknowledge and take into consideration for future actions. I think "regret" is a poor choice of words. Many things fall under "things I wish I had done" or "things I wish I hadn't done," but even then, none of those are true regrets.
Anyway, let me get off of my soap box of why I choose not to regret things and actually answer the question.

So...I've Had Writers' Block For a While
It's funny to say that, really, because I don't consider myself a "writer." And believe me, I know people who have a writers' heart.
