Froggy Notions

One thing I've learned during my time as an onliner, is that we are ALL good at something. This applies to RL as well as VL. There's no sense in trying to force a talent out of ourselves that we don't have. We might as well develop and hone the one(s) we're given by God. Most of us have more than enough of that thing we ARE gifted at to be truly unique from everyone else.
I mean, I'm just plain strange myself- but that's me. And I'm ok with the fact that everyone doesn't get me, or even particularly like me. As far as I know, I don't have any enemies but yeah, I do weird some people out because my perspective is often so different from those around me that some just don't know how to take me.

That's my talent- I have a natural tendency to almost always see things from a different angle than others. Sometimes this alienates me, but it also makes me a good puzzle solver, and surprisingly intuitive about people, their motives and what they're thinking.

Why?
My guess is that it's because people hide things about themselves in places that most folks don't look- but it just happens to be my normal view so it's quite visible to me. I never appreciated how much this tendency could assist me in helping those who are hurting, or don't feel they are heard or appreciated. Sometimes they just need to know that someone else- even just one other person- knows where they are coming from and agrees with some conclusion they have reached about life and which is the right path.



Ok, either I have really hit on a major, profound truth here- or I desperately need more coffee. *Eh* Need, shmeed. When is it not a good time for that rich, snugly, lovely coffeeness? Forget the fact that I drink so much coffee my grandchildren will have espresso pumping through their little veins.

Until next time, just remember:
Laziness is just another word for rel
