    talents. i can't play any instraments. i can't sew. i can barely knit. i can sorta keep houseplants alive. my cooking is sub-par. i can't sing. i can't dance.

    i feel like such a waste of flesh at times. i'd love to be able to play the violin. i wish i knew how to sew. (my friend has a sewing machine waiting for me in cali) i've tried to dance, even took a class. i wish i had a garden and could grow my own food.

    my family suggest i take a year "off" from trying to be "normal" and just go "find myself" but i don't even know where to start.

    help me?

    I think you are being sincere so i will refrain from posting something sexual like i wanted to. let your imagination do the work

    i have talent in the sexual department. no work needed there. :p

    i have decided to take a break from men anyways. i don't NEED a man.. nor do i want one right now. always just seems to slow me down and mess me up more.
    besides i really have nothing to offer another human right now.

    My only suggestion is to get exercise. On a mattress or otherwise. Try running.

    try doing something weird, like bird calls or juggling or something. Everyone's good at something, some are just good at weird stuff...

    Sounds like you need to do some soul searching. Discovering who are are takes a lot of trial and error I believe, but when you find that something that is all you, you'll know, and you'll wonder why you never thought of it before.

    In the meantime, try different things, experiment with different hobbies to find one that suits you best...I'm sure you would be fantastic at gardening by the way.

    go for a really long walk.
    a month long walk and just meet people and write about them.
    it helps a lot to find out what you're really about.

    i don't know. are you good at academics or anything like that? like, do you retain information really well? or, do you listen to people well? or give good advice? are you a "deep" person? there are infinite forms of talent.

    well.. as it is right now, i'm going to go live with my dad and give college another try. i'll be under less stress there and will have the help i need. :&



    who said i was bored? i'm not bored.. just blank. been too busy for almost 10 years trying to raise my 3 kids and not getting anywhere. like i've been treading water all this time, everytime i try and swim in a different direction i begin to sink.

    i remember most everything. i think i'm a nice person. just feel like... "nobody told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.. " have i been asleep all this time?

    Well, really, none of those are "talents." They're all learned skills. If you want to play the violin, take lessons and work hard at it. You'll get it. :) The same goes for everything else you said, really.

    sure if you make a list of all the things you can't do it will prob be 100 or more

    things on your list
    however if you make a list of all the things you can do i'm sure it will be 10 times
    if not more bigger than your can't do lists
    so stop been hard on yourself;)

    Try something completely off the wall. Try rock climbing, yard saling, bellydancing, poetry or fiction writing, photography, play with babies, tattooing, etc. There's a million things to be good at. One of my best talents is baking homemade bread. Another is cleaning. And I don't need more than 4 hours sleep most days.

    The only measure we have is against ourselves. Our human opponents come and go. Finding an opponent with in ourselves, or a being who we with to raise to a greater height is perpetual. We can only try to be better than we are.

    You're a clever caring person, and you are expressive. I suspect you'd be good at writing, philosophy or their intellectual areas. Perhaps you should take a myers briggs personality test and see what types of activities work with people similar traits to you enjoy.

    You have a talent of being a dedicated mother.

    Not everyone can do that. ;)
