huzzah to one year down!

As a child I was timid and shy. I didn't want to try new things in fear it would draw attention to myself, especially negative attention. This eventually led me to believe that I wasn't cut out for anything.

That I had very few, mediocre talents.

As I developed a sense of self, I felt obliged to be proud of my unique talents. No, I could not play a single sport, but I sure did have a nurturing heart. Definitely don't ever want to be put on a stage, at least I think of others' feelings. Can't sing, but I can shop. Oil painting is impossible, however I have mean calligraphy skills. 

There were a few people down the way that did not see my talents as I tried to seem them. But this is where I found my best friends, developed more meaningful relationships.

Well, they felt more meaningful to me.

The truly unbelievable part,

I met a man who has the ability to be good at anything he tries to. 

A trait I despise.

He also saw the good in me.

I can't fathom how much I have grown in the past year since we've been married. 

I've grown.

Catching and throwing isn't the scariest thing in the world either. I can shoot hoops. He loves my singing voice. My art is the prettiest. 

I still seem to get injured by sports, without being on the court. 

But the talents I already had, they feel far more important now. They are what make me a good wife, a good friend, a good future mother. 

So, huzzah!
