Deconstructing the Individual: A Glimpse of My Abilities

To be really honest, there's only an ordinary number of things I could do, but not significant enough to call them as skills; in which I am conflicted if I could consider them as one.¹ But for the sake of indulging you, dear reader, I will jog my brain and pick up whatever's on the back of my mind.² My first love was reading.³ I spent a significant amount of my elementary years in school cooped up in the library.⁴ I read a lot of fiction books and I certainly believe that it kickstarted my vivid imagination.⁵ There's also the fact that I can read over a hundred words per minute, which isn't that cool, but I'm kind of proud of it.⁶ Moving on, I’m a pretty crafty person, and could make anything as long as I put my mind into it, and how much my creative capabilities would let me.⁷ And with that, I’ve developed a skill for media computing, such as video editing.⁸ This artistic vision is something I’ve always take pride on.⁹ Do not get me wrong, though.¹⁰ I have no skills for art techniques like drawing or any formal artistic creation.¹¹ So, I thought, “Why not just take whatever I have and make something with it?”.¹² See, that’s the beauty of art.¹³ No rules, just vibes.¹⁴ The sky’s the limit – literally.¹⁵ Not just artistic media, there’s also writing, where I found my safe haven to express my thoughts if I do not have the opportunity to translate it into something more concrete.¹⁶ On a more personal note, I am an empathetic person, with a good attention to detail about people.¹⁷ I value my connections with people, so I try to be considerate for them.¹⁸ This empathy, combined with my observant nature, allows me to understand and appreciate diverse perspectives.¹⁹ I am confident with my ability to learn and adapt, making the most of my resources and talents I have.²⁰ So, maybe I don’t have a list of impressive “skills”, but I’m resourceful, compassionate, and always eager to learn.²¹ That has to count for something.²²

While the term “skill” feels a bit formal for the things I enjoy, I do have a collection of hobbies that keep me busy and, more importantly, happy.¹ Much like my approach to art, I’m ready to take on anything with an open mind and a willingness to experiment.² Video editing, for instance, allows me to combine my love for storytelling with a bit of technical know-how, turning simple clips into something a little more engaging.³ Of course, reading remains a constant companion, a way to escape into different worlds and fuel my imagination.⁴ I love a good fiction book, especially with genres like fantasy, a little bit of romance, and interesting worldbuilding lore.⁵ Then there's crocheting, a surprisingly therapeutic activity that lets me create tangible things, from cozy blankets to quirky little amigurumi.⁶ Creating something out of my own hands brings a unique sense of satisfaction.⁷ Like, hey, I just made this little guy!⁸ How cool is that?⁹ It's a nice balance to the more digital aspects of my life.¹⁰ Recently, I found makeup to be another creative outlet, a chance to play with colors, or sometimes just try out a new technique I saw online.¹¹ I do believe that my life is a canvas, and my face is not an exception.¹² And when I need to escape the everyday, I immerse myself in the captivating world of movies and series.¹³ Who could forget the simple pleasure of getting lost in a good movie?¹⁴ It's the perfect way to unwind and recharge.¹⁵ From gripping dramas to lighthearted comedies, I find solace and entertainment in the stories unfolding on screen.¹⁶ The best part is, I'm always on the lookout for something new to try.¹⁷ Whether it's learning a new craft, exploring a different genre of film, or picking up a new book, I love the feeling of discovering something that sparks my interest.¹⁸ There's always something exciting waiting to be explored.¹⁹ This constant quest for novelty keeps life entertaining and prevents me from falling into a rut.²⁰ So, I embrace my thirst for discovery, and continue to explore the vast landscape of hobbies, always eager to find my next passion that will capture my heart.²¹ After all, life is too short to be bored.²²

My interests are a delightfully chaotic reflection of my ever-wandering mind, if I say so myself.¹ I'm really into expanding my media computing knowledge.² I'm practically itching to dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of graphic design.³ It's like visual alchemy, and I'm ready to brew up some stunning concoctions.⁴ And I definitely want to get better at video editing.⁵ I've been working on it, but I feel like there's always more to learn.⁶ Basically, I'm obsessed with leveling up in all the things I already love.⁷ Then from where I’m standing right now, I would love to explore the vast field of IT, and I’m curious to see if there’s something in there that clicks for me.⁸ I’d love to find my niche.⁹ But it's not all digital wizardry and pixel pushing.¹⁰ I have this burning desire to explore the far corners of the globe.¹¹ Of course, traveling is way more fun with my favorite people in tow – my significant other, family, and friends, obviously.¹² Just thinking about the memories I could have with them makes me grin from ear to ear.¹³ And because I can't resist a good creative outlet, I'm always down to try new things.¹⁴ Painting, sculpting, interpretive dance with flaming torches (just kidding… mostly) – I'll probably give it a go.¹⁵ Basically, my brain is a playground of possibilities, and I'm just here to play.¹⁶ I embrace the chaos, the unexpected detours, and the sheer joy of discovery.¹⁷ Life's too short to be bored, right?¹⁸ So, I'm following my whims, chasing my curiosities, and generally making a glorious mess of things.¹⁹ I wouldn't have it any other way.²⁰
