Dilettante

I say humbly that everything I do is amateurish, even in my professional pursuits, but I take the liberty of understanding the term amateur in its literal but also true sense as it was adopted in 18th century England, together with its Italian counterpart dilettante, referring to a person who is truly, thoroughly, and totally in love with whatever is the object of her or his pursuit.  In this sense, I am a proud dilettante, humbly.
