This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

He sounds like he was incredibly talented.
He was. I wish I had an ounce of his talent.
Why do you think you don’t? I find talent runs through families. It often manifests in different ways generation to generation, but it’s there. Maybe you just don’t see your unique talents and skill sets as on par with his, but I bet he would. 😉
I meant I wish I had an ounce of his talent when it came to things like drawing and woodworking.
Talent and skill are often mistaken for eachother. You still have plenty of years to be chasing passions and building skills yourself!
