​My Hidden Talent

The talent that God gave me that I keep to myself, but shouldn’t.

​My Hidden Talent
Charles Williams


Throughout my life, I have noticed that I have been given many talents. I have always known of my love for music. However, there is another talent that I typically keep to myself. But I know that I shouldn’t. I just don’t know how to use it just yet.

That talent is photography and it's something that I absolutely love. It does not matter the landscape, the season, the time of day, or anything in between, I love to take photos. If I have my camera on me, chances are good that I am going to be taking pictures, whether it's of my beautiful girlfriend, sunrises on the beach, or more recently trees in their beautiful fall colors. Every day is a new adventure, and every scene is just another creation that God has made. As a photographer, it is my job to capture each image that God creates. And while it is not always easy to capture the best shot of the image, the perfect picture is always worth it.

Another thing about my hidden talent is that most people would not pick it as an option for me. Most people know that I love music and know that I am musically gifted. Because of this, the shock on people's face when they find out that I am a photographer is quite hilarious. When I show them some of the pictures, their jaws hit the floor. And I love that. It brings joy to my heart when people are happy about my pictures and gets the chance to enjoy them.

I love my hidden talent and I have for years. When I get to go on trips, I always take my camera, as long as I can anyway. And it never fails that I get some good pictures. I hope to one day be able to take pictures of places that have yet to be photographed or that are rarely photographed. I love this talent and I cannot wait to get the chance to take some of the most beautiful places that people have seen.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
