Hidden Talent

" Butterflies don't know how beautiful they are,

Just like people don't know how wonderful they are..."

I've heard and read this quote a dozen times and it doesn't fail to inspire me every time. 

I believe in this quote because I experience it myself and I know the feeling. I want to do so many things. I want to write, paint, dance, design clothes and be a photographer. So many dreams for an ordinary girl. But, I don't want to be ordinary. I want to be different and do great things that the world hasn't seen before.

I am a big dreamer. I dream to be a famous writer and a painter. I dream to be a fashion designer and to be a professional photographer. And, I don't want them to stay a dream. I want to make them real.

Being a writer, I always have something to write about. I could write almost about anything. But, there's a small voice in my head that asks me, "Is it worth reading? Do you think you really are a writer? Are you sure?"

With this small voice, I always get timid. Never volunteering in activities and never trying to pursue my dreams.

I always tell myself that I should be brave. If I don't try, I will always be in the same place. So, I try to show my articles and other projects to my parents and my friends.

I didn't expect that they will react so positively to my works. They liked my articles and my paintings. I was so happy. I never knew that my works are worth sharing.

Just like the quote, I didn't know how wonderful my works can be. I never thought I am this talented.

For me, don't listen to the negative voices in your head. It will never help you and you'll end up throwing your talents away.
