Don’t throw dolls people…
I was in a store recently, and my gaze accidentally fell on a dirty bunny stuffed toy, no, it wasn’t for sale, it was lying on bottles of alcohol. Probably, someone forgot it, and the sellers found it and put it in a prominent place. It looked nondescript and unattractive, far from being a new and very sad toy, but this toy stood out as a very powerful magical artifact. It seemed that no one but me noticed this abandoned bunny. It was as if everyone’s eyes had been turned away from this toy. The clerk from that store told me that the bunny had been in their store for a very long time, so long ago that no one in that store would even remember when it appeared. My son and I went back to that store and picked up the abandoned bunny. I washed it, dried it on the batteries and started studying it. A spirit was attached to the bunny as an anchor in the human world. It looks like an air elemental, but I’m not sure. That spirit in the abandoned bunny told me that the girl, his mistress called him «Frosya», she lost him in the store, the spirit in the bunny waited a long time for his mistress that she would come back for him, but she never came. Frosya waited and waited, but he never got there. That’s why I counted the energy of longing and loneliness from the toy; probably spirits also get attached to people in their own way and even miss them. My sincere sympathy won over the abandoned spirit, and he decided to change his mistress. Frosya lives with us now.
Talent.
Are you aspiring,
Like a wave crashing against a boulder.
We may not cross paths,
But we will definitely meet.
These are the lines of a song by a counselor from the Anapa camp, where I once rested in the summer, when I was about 13 years old. It’s been so many years, and I still remember them by heart. He was surprisingly handsome, young and attractive. A lot of girls and counselors from that camp were in love with him. I’ve rarely come across handsome men in my life. In general, handsome men are rare in Russia. Probably because beauty likes attention to itself and does not like lazy people.
I leave the man number 2 in terms of attractiveness among those who have met in my life to my husband. Or rather, his old version, when he was young, it was the time of our acquaintance, rapprochement and hot passionate dates. I award the third place to singer and songwriter Ivan Dremin. His beauty and talent inspired me, and I was able to write and compose again. Dremin’s work helped me, and even taught me something important, namely to express my pain and mental trauma on paper. So that the whole world, those people who have read you, become your personal psychotherapists. For me, creativity is not a means of self-expression, it is my confession, my personal way to leave my mark on the history of the human world, through the books I have written and the spells I have created. I’ve always been ashamed of my problems, as if I was taught that you can’t talk about problems, because no one cares and it can still be used against you. But! A negative experience is also an experience, and by talking about it, I’m warning people about possible mistakes in their lives.
This is the meaning of creativity and art to evoke a person’s emotions, the more vivid they are, the more a person sticks to the work, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a book or music. These are usually negative emotions such as anger, denial, lust, empathy, and pity.
To create a strong work, you need to be absolutely sincere in your speeches, only sincerity touches the hearts and souls of people, literally touching them to the quick. Falsity is always felt and always visible, as well as beauty made.
All three men are united not only by their physical attractiveness, but also by the talent of each of the men. The camp counselor was making music. My husband is an excellent specialist in bridge construction and complex facilities, and he was the best student in our college course. Dremin is a good poet .
It’s only now that I’m wondering if I’m the only one who sees them as beautiful. Maybe it’s just the talent that’s present in these men? What if I see these talents because I also have talent? And what is talent in general?
Talent is the outstanding ability of a person, manifested in a specific field of activity, which allows them to achieve great results through making non-standard decisions. This definition comes from the Wikipedia article.
Some people believe that talent is a gift from a higher power, a gift from God. Others claim that it has to do with the genes of a talented individual, while magicians and witches believe that talent is the result of a person’s past lives.
Nobody really knows what talent truly is, but I believe that outstanding abilities, when considered as talent, are given for the purpose of creation. It is as if a person has been given something valuable to share with the world and develop themselves and their soul. This is similar to the idea in the 2020 animated film «Soul». I think that talent, and the creation of something meaningful in the human world, is an experience of the human spirit.
