Gratitude Day 12
What is something you are good at?
My whole life, I have been one of those "emotional people." I have always loved to listen to other people. I'd much rather listen to someone else talk and let them share their feelings; I like knowing I can be a safe place for people.
So I'd say I'm good at listening.
I also really like to write. In high school, my creative writing teacher really got me into performing and writing slam poetry. Without Mr. Dittes (I hope he doesn't mind me using his name!), I wouldn't be as strong of a writer as I am today. I wouldn't have written a short novel in a month without his guidance and encouragement.
Poetry fuels me.
Here's one of my favorites, if you've never heard of spoken word poetry! *Excuse the one word that was poorly chosen, it's at 2:40 if you'd rather not hear it*
