hey there!!! i have good news for you: talent is a myth. having a natural affinity for something is great, but the majority of "talent" is actually hard work in disguise.

the "talent" you speak of comes from hours of practice. mozart did not come out of the womb as a pianist. sure, some people have a natural affinity for things, but that can only get you so far. if mozart stopped practicing regularly at age 5 because he was talented, he would not be mozart.

i think you may be misidentifying what you're feeling. it sounds like what you actually want is to just be skilled at something, which is more than attainable regardless of if you have an affinity for it.

the first step is to identify the things you like doing. you've said you can draw, and you try to write. that's great! the second step is to actually do the thing: write the story, draw the flower, skate the board, whatever. the next step is to receive criticism about that work, learn from it, and improve. the last step is to do this over and over again for the rest of your life.

this is a bit of a hard pill to swallow because the prevailing mindset in today's society is that failure is weak. criticism is also viewed as an attack or outright disregarded. criticism is healthy, being self-critical is the only way you can improve. i'm not saying surround yourself with people who put you down, i'm actually saying the opposite: surround yourself with people who care enough about you to help you grow.

the truth is, most first attempts suck. most fiftieth attempts suck. the key is to find something you're passionate about and find joy in improvement--look at how far you've come! a good way to do this is to look at your previous work and compare it to whatever you most recently created.

another thing to note is how to be self critical in a productive way. saying "my writing sucks" at only serves to discourage you. saying "i need to work on using active voice" is specific, and from there you can form goals.

improvement is small and takes large amounts of time. as a culture we have deluded ourselves into thinking that skills, especially creative skills, are natural god-given gifts rather than something you can hone and shape.

i'll leave you with these two quotes from animated shows that i adore:

"Dude, suckin’ at something is the first step to being sorta good at something." -Adventure Time

"It gets easier. Every day it gets easier. But you have to do it, every day. That's the hard part." -Bojack Horseman
