Forgotten talents, we all have them and we all regret it at some point. You have to be honest with yourself whether that’s true or not. For instance, you used to play the piano and you adored it, but you somehow drifted off from it or your parents just decided to cut you off from it definitely. The point is that you wish you would still do it today, thinking that it could serve you more now than before for sure, but you realize this now and you wonder, can I go back to it after so long? It is said that one of the biggest (or in the top 25) regrets people have in life is choosing a practical job over what you really wanted to do. Who knows, maybe that talent you had as a child is what you really aspired to be in life, but it just somehow didn’t come through.
Don’t you stop to think, “Did I even like that aspect of my childhood?” Some might have had really bad memories about it, given that they could say they were forced into their talent. You might’ve not liked what your parents did as a child, and maybe you didn’t really succeed in that talent after all. Even with all the teachers help and tutoring you still couldn’t manage. Perhaps that’s why many leave it after all. I’ve heard of multiple stories in which this happens. Usually the kid is not happy with what he’s/she’s being taught but he/she is forced into it by his/hers parents. So in the end dropping it for that him/her was the best idea in their opinion and in the end they don’t really regret it. Which also happens and it is valid as well. There are even the cases in which you drop the talent and replace it for another one making the decision not much of a regrettable one as well.
In the end, or in reality, it is not that bad to drop a talent. It only is if you really do regret it in the end. I had that experience once; I remember I replaced my talent of music with that of art. I guess I was never too interested in music as much as I thought I did, though it was pretty nice at the time and I don’t really argue about having lived that experience. I say you’re fine as long as you get something better out of it as the years go by. Because if you don’t, you might feel miserable doing what you do right now. So, going back to that childhood talent might not be a bad idea either.
