Tou don’t have to understand someone’s passion to make space for it. You don’t need to love F1 to ask your friend how the race went.
One of the kindest things you can give another person is the feeling that their enthusiasm is safe with you. Not only safe, it is welcome. Ask one more question. Let them finish the story. Watch them light up for a few minutes about something that probably means nothing to you but means everything to them. Not only do you get to understand a loved one a little better, but passion is also contagious. You might walk away knowing something more about the world, with a seed of a hobby that might just change your life, or even save it.
And the world loses a little bit of its magic every time someone decides it’s safer to be cool than to be excited. Let people like things.
