What is a skill or some skills you don't have the time or patience to begin learning, but wish you did long ago? I'll start with mine. I've always thought drawing and sketching was really interesting and awesome to see. I just find the art to be really cool, but I never took the time to actually start learning and at the place my life is now, I currently don't have the time or patience. Anytime I begin drawing something, I always get fustrated with it. I also wish I had good handwriting, but mine is just god awful. I think that would be easier to fix, though. What are yours?
Martial Arts. Wish I could be the second coming of Bruce Lee. Playing the violin. Wish I could be the second coming of Paganini. An elite bicycle racer. Wish I could be the second coming of Greg Lemond.
Knowing more than one language. It would help in so many situations, but I don't have the patience to learn it.
Playing piano. I already wanted it as a child and was given the opportunity by my parents. But I have realized I do more appreciate and desire the result of being able to play well, than the way finally getting there by regularly practising for it. I am not passionate enough about this skill to acquire it.
I just started getting back into playing the guitar again after dropping PMO and alcohol. Started playing over 20 years ago but lost interest along the way. Can't imagine how good I could be now had I stuck with it.
I'd really like to play Piano, especially Tori Amos music. And I'd like to start studying criminal psychology
I wanted to learn a new language for a long time. So, I started learning Korean, been 5 months since I started. And there's more on the list after Korean.
I really want to have awesome mechanical skills, so i can build my own custom vehicles, that would be so damn awesome. Unfortunately, no tools, money and most importantly knowledge. Also, i'd like to learn spanish, portuguese and arabic. But idk, i never was that good with languages.
Abstaining from 'unnatural' dopamine etc stimulation such as PMO, drugs & alcohol, even facebook scrolling, should help resent things and bring you to a point of appreciating things more. Keep going.
Pornography is for losers, drugs are for idiots, alcohol is bad and social media is evil. I do not use any of those.
I really want to learn russian. I did took some lessons a year ago, but since then I've been procrastinating. Hopefully I'll find the motivation to integrate it into my daily routine. And I think the same way about drawing/sketching like you. It's soo cool, but it takes a lot of practice :x
Bloody hell! @LEPAGE I think what Vandermeer is his own way is trying to say, is that he politely suggests you look into more techniques and tools to support your recovery, in order to find something that works for you- whilst also keeping in mind that some hard work and courage will be required of you (which you have inside).
