As a Filipino writer and artist, Malonzo's journey was marked by self-discovery and perseverance in the face of challenges. During this time, she was likely grappling with the complexities of her creative identity and seeking inspiration.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe quote reveals a paradoxical approach to finding passion: it's not about being passionate all the time, but about choosing something that becomes an all-consuming obsession. Malonzo acknowledges that she may never find her \"true\" passion, but she's willing to settle for something that dominates her thoughts and imagination.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset, try adopting a \"all-or-nothing\" approach to your creative pursuits: choose a project or activity that becomes an all-consuming obsession, and dedicate yourself to it with the same level of intensity that you would a passion. By doing so, you'll create space for your mind to fully immerse itself in the task, leading to a deeper sense of engagement and fulfillment.",{"currentPage":109,"totalPages":109,"totalItems":8,"itemsPerPage":110},1,10]
