Music

I have always wanted to be musically inclined, but sadly I have never been. I can recreate music, but I don't get it well enough to make my own... Even in the rare instances where I have gotten an instrument well enough to feel comfortable just kind of playing around jazz-styles with it I still can not create.

This used to bother me for a long time, since "Its music, its a universal language," and I may fancy myself a story teller but that is just how she goes, "Thats the way of the road Bubs."

To clarify, as a creative type I can create worlds, and people... Give me 15 minutes and some inspiration and I can have a world fleshed out well enough that many would assume I have been working on it for years just waiting for an opportunity to show it off. I have met many people that make stories but their characters always seem flat their description slightly modified versions of someone else's words, they just didn't have the ability to create in the necessary fashion... This is not a problem, if they never get caught or know to go to someone who can help them with their short comings, but they just can not on their own.

An other example is: I have known many great cooks, but all they can do is follow a recipe they have no imagination when it comes to modification, this does not mean they are bad, just that everything they make tastes exactly the way it should, which is great, but not imaginative.

So I always wished I could make music, not play music or read music... But make it, I used to be able to play and read music I am very out of practice, but making it is what I lust after. I have never been great at lyrics, though I used t write poetry all the time back when I was misunderstood... And I can not, for the life of me, understand how people put notes together to form a feeling in the air that carries the intent across.

What about you all, do you wish you had a skill/talent that just seems not to be in the cards? Am I alone in this? (That was a dumb question) Do you feel like sharing?
