Talent

Each one of us has an unique talent. I have always believed this to be true. And I don't necesarily mean an artistic talent. It could be something small, meaningless to the outside world. It could be something irelevant. It could be something silly, that you only do in the privacy of your own room. But everyone has a talent.

What is mine? I've often wondered. I can play a couple of instruments, I can make some pictures, I can even write sometimes. But I do none of those things very well. I can only do them... adequately. I believe my talent is expresing emotion. Passing on something unpalpable to another person, but at the same time something very real. A feeling. A smile. Sorrow.

So what is my problem then? Well, I can't seem to be able to do it consistently. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have tried to figure out why, and the best thing I was able to come up with is... well, the lack of a proper medium of expresion. A way to send out whatever I want to express. So I have reached a decision. I shall be trying out an exercise. For one week, for the forseable future, I shall pick one emotion and try to express it in whatever way I can, without using the word to describe it. I'm not sure if this will work in unlocking the creative block I have at the moment. But it got me excited enough that I forgot I was washing my teeth for about 6 minutes. That's good enough for me.

So stick aroung. There may be some interesting post coming up soon.
