What YOU are Good At

"You are good at something, stop lying to yourself. You’re good at breaking down comic book plots, cooking ramen perfectly, making your friends happy, knowing the time without looking at a clock, getting the perfect ending at RPG’s, or figuring out the twist ending to movies. Don’t let society tell you your talents are meaningless because they don’t serve an economical purpose. Your talents reflect your interests and passions, and what’s important to you is important." via This Tumblr

I came across this on Tumblr the other day, and I have fallen in love with it. 
It's made me think a lot about how many people are good at things that aren't "important" in society's eyes. They're things that "don't help you get a job" or "don't help you further yourself."
Says who? 
(note, those quotations are air quotes.)

Things like what's in that quote make you, you.
They make up the quirks that make you interesting. I think the small things you're good at are the more important that the technical abilities that can land you a job because these build your personality and character.

Figure out what you're good at and embrace it.

P.s. I've been terribly busy and stressed...I apologize for the lack of posts!
