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.

I do know someone else like that. She calls herself the girl who ran away. We all have our limits not least myself. We cope in whatever way we can. Like joking about things to show how clever we are or suppressing or repressing memories.
