Passion for passion's sake is absolutely radical and beautiful! I love this perspective. It can be maddening to be told all aspects of your life need to be about someone or something else (especially as a mom). It's so powerful to choose otherwise.
I like the honesty of your first answer—and how you come back to it. The idea that writing is fueled by the feeling it gives you, and that choosing that feeling is a kind of radical act, really lands. It’s a nice reframing of “self-interest” as something necessary, not selfish.
