Day 19: A Talent

18 Jul

Part of 30 Days of Me.

I really can’t think of a talent. I mean, in the past, when forced to perform at talent shows, I think I sang. Or played the piano. But I wouldn’t say music is my talent because 1) I’m not dedicated/passionate about it, and 2) there are a billion people better at it than me.

Does sense of direction count as a talent? Because I have a great sense of direction and often times it has nothing to do with keeping mental track of where we are. On my Europe trip, I’d often emerge from a metro station totally disoriented, and yet still be able to walk in the right direction.

This “talent” is incredibly useful not only when I’m traveling, but also when I’m driving. Often times, if I hit a traffic jam or if the GPS is giving me nonsensical directions, I can still find my own way just with a vague idea of where I want to go.

What is your talent?

    I would definitely consider that a talent. I almost always end up going the opposite way of how I need to go.

    I definitely don’t have your talent, haha. The other night I went in a complete circle to get home, taking the longest way possible. But it gave me lots of lovely time to reflect on my life, so you know, silver lining or something?

    i am the exact opposite.. my “sense” of direction is in reverse mode, i’m always walking the opposite way i’m supposed to… even when i try to walk the opposite way i think i should walk, it’s STILL THE WRONG WAY D:

    my talent… picking up random objects with my feet? haha i don’t think that really counts :P
