What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

View all responses

I wish I didn’t have to worry about earning money through a job that is nothing but a weight on my chest. Well, you could say – then, go ahead, quit it and pursue whatever you want to. But come on, those who juggle passion, dreams, and the needs of life every day, would know this is not practically possible. And is what I wished for a skill or ability?

Why not? Artists, authors, and storytellers should not have to look for something else to support their passions and dreams and to run the household, while what they love to do is a job in itself. It’s just that the world has stopped investing in art and books – they’d rather turn to the gadgets in their hands or a screen hanging on a wall.

We keep creating memes on this, but think about it – dive to the darkest depths of it – this is a painful reality.
