    What are you ACTUALLY good at?
    Hello. I was just having a conversation with my dad about my sixth form and future plans. I told him that I NEED to do well in the next year and a half, otherwise I'd just be wasting myself on a subject I'm ok at and enjoy.

    Then I it somehow came to me that I'm ONLY ok(not good) at that one thing... I don't really excel in anything else. It depressed me...

    In short, I'm wondering what/how many things people are good and excel at.
    It can be anything; from the stative things to the dynamic things.

    So, what are YOU actually good at?

    Erm... something that you're very good at; where you actually sat down and thought "S**t, I'm actually pretty damn good at this"

    Writing stories. Baking. Taking care of children. Crashing into other cars. Reading. Falling over flat surfaces. Crying over movies even if they aren't sad. Spending a lot of time on the internet. Listening to people.

    Breathing.

    Think I've nailed it to be honest. :smug:



    [EDIT] Negging me because you're jealous of my talent? Wow. Real grown up. I'm going to go tell on you.
