Passion is passion. Life might be complicated, but passion is not — it is that raw draw to something or another, whatever that something or another is. The pursuit of said passion (or life as mentioned before) might be complicated, but the underlying passion itself should be bright as day.

And now join me in celebrating this fun by celebrating two incredible representatives of it.
Here’s to you, Christian and Franz. To many more pow days ahead.
