In any language

Do you have a secret love? Something that you pursue in private, an interest that makes the hours fly by and fills your heart with pleasure? Do you?

Oh! No, that’s not what I meant. Although if you do have a secret love of that sort that brings you joy, I’m happy for you. But really, I was thinking more of a hobby than an actual person.

I love languages. Always have. I’m intrigued by the way different cultures communicate. I’d love to be able to speak every language on the globe. I mean, who wouldn’t? It would make talking to anyone—and everyone!—as easy as…well, as easy as opening one’s mouth and heart. Bliss, sheer bliss.

Since I know it’s impossible to learn every language in the world I make due with knowing just a few. I speak Italian and Spanish, as well as—obviously—English. There are a couple other languages that I’m passably capable of speaking. I’d love nothing more than to see my books translated into other languages. It would be a dream come true. Who knows? Maybe someday.

So, what about you? Do you have a passion you’d like to share? Some hobby that interests you, some passion you pursue whenever you get a spare moment or two?
