Unseen Gifts. The "don't judge a book by its cover thing.
I’ve always been fascinated by the unseen gifts. We all look like humans, with two hands and a head, skin wrapping muscles and bones. Blood coursing through rivers within to keep us alive on planet Earth.
Sure, maybe we costume it differently, do our hair in a certain way, or have different shades of eyes, skin, or hair. Many people put on a certain outfit to look more punk rock, more hipster, more creative director or tech….But ultimately the general package is pretty similar.
I love finding out about those things that surprise others— having a friend out at drinks break out into dance and you can tell they were trained and naturally talented in expressive movement. Or a coworker that busts out some tunes at karaoke night. Sure, he used to do theater, but now, he doesn’t have much use for his musical talents in his day-to-day life beyond the shower.
For some reason, I always find out people's hidden abilities…I look for them, I sense them. I love discovering them. It shows me more who they are, and what they've been dedicated to. I think we need to uncover them and celebrate them. I’d like us to find ways to value, enjoy and use them that aren’t tied to modern conventions of social media likes or making it a career.
