it's funny, if i could be good at anything it would be music. but i'm not good at music, and not for lack of trying. i'm pretty good at drawing though, as a kid i wasn't the type to sit around drawing at all, and it's only in the last 12 months that i've really started drawing regularly or seriously at all. i love doing drawing, but it's not something i would have choosen if somebody said "you may choose any one thing to be good at". and as much as i love certain works of art, my enthusiasm and love for art in general doesn't even come close to my enthusiasm and love for the phenomenon that is music.
we don't pick what we we're good at, i wish we could, but we can't.
are the people you know who are big sports fans also excellent sportsmen? probably not.
our interests are not a reflection of our skills, and our skills are not an extension of our interests, thus i will probably never be more than a mediocre artist. but that's life.
