Five Things I’m Good At

Daily writing prompt
Share five things you’re good at.

Five things Iโ€™m good at:

Writing, especially romance and umโ€ฆ sex. (Am I allowed to say I think I can write? Itโ€™s probably pretentious of me but I love what I create so Iโ€™ll say it anyway.)

Which leads to number two: Iโ€™m stubborn. Thatโ€™s not always a good thing but when it makes me stick to something regardless of whether or not the odds are for me, then Iโ€™ll count it as a blessing.

Three: As someone close to me told me recently, Iโ€™m good with setting boundaries with people. That was learned. After being used, and used, and used, I finally got a clue.

Four: Giving people the benefit of the doubt. Sounds contrary to having good boundaries, but I believe anyone can mess up here and there. I know I do. It all comes down to whether or not theyโ€™re trying. If theyโ€™re not, then itโ€™s time for a boundary.

Five: Umโ€ฆ now Iโ€™m struggling. Is there anything else Iโ€™m good at? There must be, right?

Okay, I asked my husband and he said Iโ€™m good at organizing my household for the benefit of my family. Cool. I didnโ€™t even know that, or that my family saw me as an organizedโ€”clears throatโ€”homemaker.

  1. Like it that you got objective opinions. As long as they’re biased of course. Take ‘husband’ opinion, if he’s like my hubby, he’ll tell me anything that puts a smile on my face! But I know he likes my face with or without a smile. Cheers.

  9. Haha, well, if someone asked me what I’m good at, it would take me longer to decide than it takes to choose a favourite star in the The Universe.! I’m into writing too, but, you know, I keep the explicit thoughts to myself โ€“ don’t want to cause a subway uproar. ๐Ÿ˜œ And stubbornness? Yeah, I’ve learned the hard way that not all stubborn battles are worth it. I mean, have you heard about the tragic toy saga? Now I’m all about avoiding stubborn regrets. As for boundaries, life’s a two-way street โ€“ gotta enjoy the ride with loved ones and friends, even if it means letting go of the boundary worries. Giving people the benefit of the doubt? Absolutely, ’cause, hey, I mess up too! Your list is spot-on, and it’s got me thinking about my hidden talents… or lack thereof! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
