Between Or

I have been asked:
If you are torn between the two,
Tell me what would you choose
To love what you do or do what you love?

If you have asked me this decade ago,
I'd say it's futile to choose the first,
But perhaps I have become wiser now
And so this is how I supposed to answer that:

Love what you do then do what you love.
Polish those shoes then paint on the canvass you bought
Wait tables on weekdays then on weekends be the skater that you are
Be the rockstar, be the poet, be whoever you love to be

And if as of now, you can't yet do what you love,
Learn the art of finding joy in what you do,
Use it as a ladder that leads to your passion
Love what you do then do what you love.

But if you have asked me this decade from now,
Perhaps this is what I would say:
The goal is not to love what you do,
The goal is to do what you love.

And perhaps I'm wrong,
But I know, this one thing is for sure
To love what you do, you must do what you love,
In order to survive the cruelness of life,

Sweetheart, 
please save yourself
from a life 
that is so depressing.
