I was trying to think of the talents that I possess in this life. My list was inevitably short. I think that I am okay at things, but a master of none. Well, with a few exceptions. I think that I am pretty good at getting frustrated. I can get real mad about basically nothing. I am also really good at over analyzing any situation that is handed to me. I can seriously take what one person says or does, and make it out to be this big conspiracy that they hate me, and are planning on hiring a hit man to kill me. That hit man also happens to be my best friend who is their best friend, and he also wants me dead. So they made a plan that I was going to be killed one week from tomorrow (Which is actually sincerely my birthday) So I will die at exactly 22 years old. Which if you look in Greek mythology anyone that dies at the very age of 22, burns in hell forever. All this is because they decided to not text me back. Call it a wild imagination if you will, I call it a damn nightmare. Because it seriously keeps me up at night. The other talent I have is obsessing over things. I can sit in my room and brood over something for hours. That directly ties into my last thought of over thinking. But, also with that in the light of obsessing, I can seriously never settle for anything less when I get into something. I started collecting vinyl records back in December, and in a little over two months, I have easily dropped $400 dollars into my collection that grows bi-weekly. Some of my things are pretty gosh darn exclusive also. This is probably one of my biggest faults also. Cause I do it with people. I will find someone that I like, and I will invest alot into them. Making them out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. More often than not, it will blow up in my face too. But, when it doesn't its usually pretty great. I think what I am getting at, is that there is a different way to look at personality flaws. Lets say someone is really annoying to you. You could say that they are really annoying, or you could say that they are really talented at saying the worlds dumbest things. There are all kinds of things people would then be good at. Some people are good at being ugly, talking alot, chewing food loudly, not telling the truth, hurting your feelings, ditching you for other friends, being stupid, driving poorly, one-upping your stories, talking down towards you, the possibilities are endless. Literally. I think that this could be a key opportunity for people to start building each other up, as opposed to tearing them down. I am not really for all that love everyone kind of thing, I view it more of a way to insult someone without having alot of the violent repercussions. I have a hard time telling people off, but if I can sugar coat it enough to where it almost sounds like a compliment, I think it will be easier for me. But, the truth of it all, is I have no intentions of any of this. I just got to thinking to myself about what I am good at. I have concluded that I am not good at basketball, bowling, and most sports for that matter, regardless of my continuous attempts. I also can't play musical instruments worth a damn. So, in a fervent attempt to regain any sort of self esteem, I decided to name my personality flaws as talents. A way to bring this darker side of me to light. Not to say that I could put them on a resume. But, at least I feel a little better about myself. Try it. It might work for you.
