I’m somewhat embarassed to say this, but I watched almost every episode of America’s Best Dance Crew this seasons, which apparently, I’m hearing from true ABDC fans, was the worst season to start liking the show. In any case, the crew that I was rooting for, We are Heroes, became the first all female group to win this competition. I loved watching them perform extremely intricate motions with flawless unity. I could not imagine the amount of practice that went into perfecting each routine.
As I watched the confetti rain down, I came to a startling revelation: I am not REALLY good at anything. This is by no means a pity party; I simply have never invested myself into one activity for a substantial amount of time. I have dabbled in everything: I played multiple sports in high school; I slapped the bass; I enjoy games like backgammon — there really is nothing I have not tried.
And still, there is a part of me tha twishes I had the discipline to see something through. Relating to all sorts of people through these different media is fun, but in the end, they are all simply surface level fancies and not passions in my life.
Without sounding too spiritual, I suppose the only thing that I have dedicated myself to is the church, and I can confidently say I have not truly invested everything of myself into that either. My resolution is to be committed a target and watch my own confetti rain down as I stand triumpantly at the goal. I hope we can all commit to something of that intensity. After all, there is no telling how far we can go if we were to live with a singular passion and conviction.
your excellent at yelling for ucla
Thats so interesting..
it was actually really interesting reading this cause thats how i see myself a bunch of times, ive always wished I was really good in one thing, and like you ive played a bunch of different sports, musical instruments, etc but never got into one thing. I was actually talking about that with Leo like last week. He keeps telling me its ok, its part of my personality. That we adapt easily, that is easy to love a bunch of things.
I still think about it though.
Thanks for sharing, It makes me feel Im not the only one haha
