    I would like to be able to draw. Anything that was in my head. All these extremely cool things. That would make me happy

    There are several:

    - Reading really fast [say, five seconds per page]
    - Running really fast [say, three minutes per mile]
    - Flying
    - Reading minds [at will; I wouldn't want this to be involuntary, because that would be wierd/annoying/invasive at times]
    - Singing
    - Playing the cello [I used to, but haven't touched it in years... it's gathering dust in a closet at the moment]
    - Playing the piano
    - Playing the violin
    - ... playing any musical instrument
    - Being able to jump five times higher than my height, from a standing position
    - Ability to snap my fingers and have my house instantly neat and tidy
    ... etc.

    This is going to sound cheesy but,
    I would really like to have a talent of understanding the world around me and the universe.

    And, of course, be talented in everything.

    : )

    I'd want to be able to sing the depth of what I feel but never seem to be quite able to express. Actually, I'd take a talent in writing or film-making or whatever if I could just do that.

    I want to absorb information like a sponge. I learn it once and never forget it.

    I want to be a savant of some sort minus the autism. Kind of like those people who can multiply huge, huge numbers in their head. It's not the most practical of skills, but it's still impressive.

    I want to be able to eat and type and smell with my feet.

    I want to be able to see behind me without having to turn around.

    Drawing has always eluded me.

    Sorry, it's not. Unless you can do it without gaining an ounce and not die from heart attack.

    With my freeze ray
    I will stop the world

    With my freeze ray
    I will find the time to
    Find the words to

    Tell you how
    How you make
    Make me feel
    What’s the phrase?

    Like a fool
    Kind of sick
    Special needs
    Anyways

    With my freezeray
    I will stop the pain
    It’s not a death ray or an icebeam
    That’s all Johnny Snow

    I just think you need time to know
    That I’m the guy to make it real
    The feelings you don’t dare to feel
    I’ll bend the world to our will
    And we’ll make time stand still

    That’s the plan
    Rule the world
    You and me
    Anyday

    Love your hair
    ("What?")
    "No I . . I, uh . . . love the . . . air"
    Anyway

    With my freeze ray I will stop –
    Moonlight will fall
    Winter will end
    Harvest will come
    Your heart will mend

    Music. I love music and I'd love to be able to create it. I have my daughter in piano lessons, which she LOVES, and she wants to take voice lessons too. It brings me as much joy to see her learning it as it would bring me if I could do it myself.

    Attraction/Seduction

    Anything else I'd rather learn through trial-and-error and build callouses to, or I don't give enough of a shit about. There's no point if it comes easily, and being a shitty photographer isn't as inherently emotionally depriving.

    There are ways of practicing such....

    Start with yoga, maybe.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    ~a certain mysterious power that may prove terribly fascinating to the extraverted man, for it touches his unconscious.
