I don’t like to brag too much about my accomplishments, skills, or talents. It’s not as if I have many, but I don’t view myself as the kind of person that’s constantly putting all my greatness out there for everyone to see. Again, it’s not like I have many hidden skills, but there are a few things that I admit I’m pretty good at.
I’m a crafty person, I can make things look pretty. I have an eye for color, pattern, and design. And I have FINALLY mastered the perfect 10 looped bow. I have the ability to come up with new, creative ideas off the cuff, and I think outside the box.
I’m not too bad of a writer. If I’ve made any of my readers laugh, just once, I’m counting that as a success! But the real accomplishment with this blog isn’t about the actual writing itself, it’s about the follow through! Those of you whom know me, I mean, REALLY know me, will get that!
I 100% identify with my Aquarius air sign, yes, I’m one of “those”. Innovative, creative, eclectic, intellectual… always looking for the greater good, the bigger picture as I try to make my mark on this world. But as I mentioned before, I also struggle with ADHD so the ability to actually stay focused on a specific skill in order to refine it, is not likely to happen.
I found myself in a recent situation that led to this “Ah-ha!” moment. It dawned on me that I really do have a hidden skill, a talent. Hell, let’s just call it what it is…. a gift! It finally came to me that I am REALLY good at just fucking things up! 🤔 Not only am I “good” at it, I’ve crafted it! I can take an already fucked up situation that I created, turn around, and just f*ck it up even more! Feel free to message me for references. 😉
My initial direction with this post was going to be mature, insightful. I wanted to take you on my journey of the significant growth I’ve made through self- discovery simply by accepting my weaknesses and learning from them. Changing my mindset. Share with you what I have figured out along the way in hopes that you, too, will find a connection.
Maybe you could apply it to your life as you figure things out for yourself? Maybe I could be a beacon of light for those who are lost? Or maybe just a light at the end of the tunnel? Because, yes, you can let go. You can move forward. You are strong. There is hope. Yes, darling, this too shall pass.
But… that’s no fun! And it’s definitely not funny! But what I have learned, is that if you look hard enough you can find the humor in anything. I’ve also learned that if I can’t laugh at myself, someone else will be!
I have learned that even though this is a huge weakness of mine, I believe there’s a demographic out there that hasn’t been tapped into. I’m sure some of you can relate. Just know, I get you!
I get your heart of gold. I understand that you truly believe you always have the best of intentions. BUT, you just can’t help to leave well enough alone and you just have to get in there and mess it all up! That’s your creative side, that’s your gift. ❤️
If you have children, you may start to see that this gift is hereditary. I have already started to see my children apply it to their lives at times.
One thing I do caution you about, if you happen to be part of the same shit show club, time is NOT on your side with this skill. I feel safe in saying that it is probably not one of those trades you want to improve on, much less master. 😉
So, I leave you with this. My words of wisdom, if that’s what you want to call it. Whatever crazy train you intentionally, or unintentionally, choose to jump on just to shake things up a bit, try to find the lesson learned for yourself. Remember, there’s always a reason behind the way things happen the way they do. Then forgive yourself, and move onto the next train!
