The talent of giving up.

While I do have multiple abilities that can benefit from practice, life happens and I give up on them. Many people would do anything to have the same opportunities and leanings.

Mostly grief stands in my way.

I used to sing, stopped when my sister passed away.

I used to write exquisite classic arabic poetry that was published, stopped because a relationship crumbled.

I learnt gymnastics and playing the piano, stopped when my grandparents passed away.

I used to paint and sketch, stopped as the grief over Ibahnini took its course.

Whenever I try engaging that, all I feel is pain so I don't bother. Other givers know how to transform that pain to gifts, I move away and find something else in me to tie to life.

I do miss what I used to do and to be, sometimes.

Another reason is my perfectionism tendencies. I focus on details to the point that I dismiss the whole work and consider it trash.

I seem to be able to work on that lately.

@Miram I feel you. We're a bit a like. I am sorry for that. Lol.

God has good sense of humor. I will never feel alone.
