Quirkiness what's your super power

Everyone is different and that's what makes us all the same. We tend to identify ourselves because of our uniqueness, the first time you talk to someone new, you ask them where they are from, what their occupation and if the inquiry continues you get to know their hobbies and other interests. Mentally there are categories and boxes people are placed into. I can tell you that the relationship with Obadiah the painter and the one with Priscilla the statistician are going to be visibly different. After finding out which fields of interest the way one starts to characterise a person starts to have biases. In the science fiction department of media there's a lot of content to do with superpowers or some sort of inhuman ability. Usually the ability is tied to some sort of traits of the user at times or an event that happened in their life. For my first time watching this kind of content as a child I was left feeling a little envious, you know the ever so common scenari...

When was the last time you did something for the first time? How did that make you feel? It's exciting when it's an activity you've been looking forward to, and daunting when it's a chore you have to get through, but you've been putting it off for a while.  Here I find myself blogging for the first time. How do I feel? I know anxious isn't the word. I guess because I know at this point I don't have that large of an audience, it's probably going to be my small circle of friends or whoever. If this garners more attention than that, then perhaps I will come back to criticize this post. It's almost comica,l how we are our own worst critics, especially when we don't perform as well we would like, when we do something for the first time. A majority of the time it's because we set unreal expectations for our first experiences.  Whenever I try a recipe for the first time, and it does not look anything like the tutorial I was following, I...
