#talents
I think it’s pretty dope to be able to walk around in something that a friend of mine custom made from scratch. Thanks Ibe !
Todoroki: What are your talents.
Midoriya: Oh! I’m really fast at mumbling and I analyze heroes and I-*starts mumbling*
Todoroki:………..
Midoriya: Oh! You meant my Quirk! Yeah, I don’t have one.
IN SCHOOL:
IN THE REAL WORLD:
When discovering what makes you who you are…. do not ever surrender it. So much of life’s purpose is discovering the true resonance of self, but the challenge is that of applying it to the ideas everyone else has of what it means to be successful, wholesome, well-rounded etc. Externalizing may feel like an impossible task most of the time, but externalizing isn’t the most important thing that can be done.
The feeling of being fully embodied in everything that comes with selfhood will not always feel empowering or obvious. Sometimes it feels the opposite entirely, and it’s more like a scrambling around, while being rejected for what we can’t even control. it often feels like an internal screaming that states: “I’m not built for this world!” There is a reason for that as well. This world was built by portions of humanity that did not have the foresight to realize that the mold would become crippling and restrictive. All foundations in the world that are built higher and higher were once someone’s shining idea, and these things often must crumble in time.
So now: many of us are put here in order to not fit into the mold, because it’s time for something new. This is easy enough to ponder, but it’s hardest to keep it in mind when it’s not simple to survive and make a living being who we truly are, and doing what we truly love. It’s not easy when, on the level of survival, we live in a world that empowers material power only. We live in a world that encourages us to put so many aspects of our selfhood to rest - for the sake of adapting and accumulating the material. This still doesn’t excuse giving up on who you truly are: what your talents are, what gifts and abilities bring you to the forefront of feeling fully and wholly you. It’s better to pursue these things little bits at a time than surrender them entirely, and it’s better to expect a miracle to come along, than to waste any of these blessings.
Let me just tell you, I can do wonderful, wonderful things ;)
