Your Special Ability?

[crystalgaze]

Do you have a special ability?

I believe we all have something that we are good at doing, even if it's balancing on 1 foot, video game expert, juggling, etc.

Hopefully, there will be positive responses, but all posts are welcome!

My intent was to start a thread where you can come back to look at it when you're down & give you a boost!

Mine are (maybe):
insight/foresight/premonition......writing/thinking.....
some singing/dancing (but it takes a LOT of practice)

Continue!

Edit: I do wonder some days, if my insight/foresight/premonition ability won't be the thing that kills me one day. It seems as though it's a double-edged sword. Sometimes, just sometimes I would really like to turn it off or not see whatever it is I'm seeing for just a moment.... Then again, maybe that's where the forgetfulness thing comes in, but usually it doesn't just disappear. I'm going to take it in stride, though.

Edit #2: My other abilities are:

----keen hearing (I could hear some of the high pitched sounds my dog could hear. They often hurt my ear + my head.)

----keen sense of smell (Most of the time I am the 1st to be aware of a bad smell in the house.)

----Seer/Seeing [I have a knack for seeing subliminal messages or odd/unintended (?) messages & other things in commercials, for example.]


Edit #3: Maybe my final ability is hiding.... Not sure whether it is good or bad...... I can do it relatively well, that it's scary. There's no notification for an edit; hardly anyone will see an edited post unless he/she goes back & looks at the topic. Beautiful, isn't it? I could crumble & no one would know. I can successfully disappear.

After looking at it for a while....

While hiding is a good ability.... It might not be what I'm supposed to be doing....

It's odd how when I don't hide, especially when I am here with others who are similar to me.... I actually somehow manage to feel stronger, embrace myself even more & throw out the stuff that's been killing me all these years.

It's like I feel strong enough to live & face the world.... & give depression/bipolar, a good ole karate chop!

~lol~ & I can pretend I'm Donald Trump & tell it: "You're FIRED!!"

Okay, that's getting a lil carried away.... heheheheh

A final thought.... I think I have a theme song for myself.... ~lol~ & it's Guardian Angel by Juno Reactor.... I'm not a guardian angel.... I think the roles switch up.... being a guardian at 1 point & then being an angel for myself... & that's how I manage to survive....

If the forum/chat had to have a theme, I think we should be called "The Angels"....

There are a lot of great people here! ^_^

[crystalgaze]

I think I'm close to seeing what it is my life is calling me to do.... (calling in life)

~lol~ I don't know if I really want to see it... I get the feeling it will take some bravery + strength I didn't think I had....

Well... I'll let the cat out of the bag about what I think the calling might be..... I'm almost thinking ~whisper~ I should be a motivational speaker....??? or is it a life coach???? but I don't really know....

aside/digression--->About the Guardian Angel (Juno Reactor) song thing, I feel mighty powerful when I listen to it...

Alright back on track....

[crystalgaze]

Okay.... Random thoughts....

I think I have a few other theme songs... Jaydee's Plastic Dreams & maybe BT's Dreaming....

One more thing about the guardian angel... I think the message the song gives me is to be my own guardian angel.... that I have a higher self that I might be able to call on that will catch me when I fall....

(I don't know what the higher self is, though.... Whatever it is, it doesn't feel external....)


Poem/Thought on New Special Ability

I am a well of love...
I don't know when it happened....
Don't know where it came from
Or how it's here (how it got here),

But I do feel much better for it having returned....

I think I'm going to be just fine....
(if I follow this path?)

Maybe what I've learned through all this is that
I just have to be myself....
(& maybe life will fall into place by itself?)

Maybe that's what we all must be:
is ourselves

& take care of each other (people similar to us & who understand us)
especially since our alliance is probably our greatest resource & strength.

~whisper~ We'll be the biggest band of musketeers the world has ever seen...

~lol~ Warmie, I think this is the result of those forum quotes & meditations... hahahahah!

[crystalgaze]

Oh yeah.... so... I was listening to Guardian Angel when I wrote the posts above this one....

& I just remembered that I had had a thought about my profile pic....

I guess it's sort of symbolic in a way....

The arrow + the curve = bows and arrows to strike down whatever attacks me (e.g. darkness, depression, etc.)

The pink 2-dimensional diamonds form a much larger diamond: a "crystal"
that has an X over/under it.... one protects the other, probably taking turns.... That's my "guardian angel" theme.... ~lol~

I'm the X... The diamond is a shield I can cover myself with & the arrows are for self-defense.... Just had to get that 1 out...

It also has another meaning, but that 1's a secret ^_^

ONIKA DOES YOUR MIND EVER REST ,,,,,,TAKE CARE

[Mich]

Onika - I love your name! I think you would be fabulous as a motivational speaker/life coach. You are very insightful, positive and inspiring. Despite the illness, you manage to have very intelligent thinking which is something I unfortunately lost.

I'd have to say the only thing I am good at is being on time. I am never late.

((((((((((( crystalgaze )))))))))))))))))

Sounds like you have many abilities. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I have no special ability. (Note singular). Can't sing, can't dance, don't play a musical instrument of any kind, don't write poetry. LOL I can give you a list of non-abilities, would that work?

[crystalgaze]

~lol~ Ken, my mind doesn't ever seem to rest really. I'm a little hyper again... & the bows & arrows aren't for humans! ~lol~ No way!

Mich... when you said you were good with time, i thought about you managing a delivery service of some kind... don't know why.... whatever it was you had your own business....

Don't worry Mich! You can regain it! Just don't you lose hope!

Warmie...! You have a special ability & that's bringing joy/comfort to others. Still don't know how ya do it.

Lisa & Ken can make everyone laugh ^_^

i can also touch my nose with my tongue and say the alphabet backwards really fast!

On a more serious note i am very good with children, after many many people telling me so i begin to realise it must be true. maybe it's because i remember what i liked and how i thought as a child and i know what it's like when they're hurting....
