Multipotentialite! aha....


 Multipotentialite! aha....


I was scrolling mindlessly through Facebook as you as do. A friend, well an acquaintance, well a former friend you know those ones you share a nostalgic history though never in their actual lives but in their vicinity enough to bond if you speak?.... okay wait I digress.

Multipotentialite is defined as.....

"A multipotentialite is someone with many interests and creative pursuits.

It stems from the word multipotentiality–a psychological and educational term used to describe people who display aptitudes across multiple disciplines.

The term was popularized by Emilie Wapnick on Puttylike and in their 2015 TED talk, Why Some of Us Don’t have One True Calling:"

In just one word my whole and I mean whole mind, body, and soul finally made sense! I have always been a jack of all trades, especially a new one! I love a challenge, I love change (a new experience, learning experience), I am a strategic, adaptive flexible quick learner and yet have the ability to bring expertise beyond my conscious mind to a new trade! 

I always thought you know am special, but also a little strange, I struggled to understand and see my world in this world. You know looking around and wondering why is everyone else not functioning like this I mean it would be by far way more efficient. 

Back to the post, the next sentence hit.... she said and I word-for-word quote "I once remember leaving a job and they had to hire 5 people to do what I do!" .......alas! There is another me in the world. 

In that one moment what had been quite an emotionally erratic volatile day you know when life decides to life.....wait I digress. Okay am back. in that one moment, I felt validated! I am not strange! I am not weird! I am not a weird gift to mankind! There are other kindred spirits just like "moi" a whole "moi" Oh the joy the relief, the inspiration. 

I mean I am actually writing a blog; I haven't done one of these in years! I mean a dead love suddenly has been given life by a Facebook post! and they say miracles don't happen YO! (insert SA accent). This is one ya'll a whole real-life resurrection of something, not sure exactly what but something. something that has breathed life into lil ol'me! I feel like she literally saved my life. I mean she most definitely has been upgraded to THE Nostaligic, kinda know don't know but my fond friend now. She has zero idea but oh well. I hope she receives joy and love wherever she is. 

Anyhooo, she continued talking about water and how it refreshes and grows and literally my little parched garden suddenly got life like real life. I don't know how long this mountain vibe will last but I'll take it because ya'll it's been a minute. 

Now the scary bit to post or not post oh boy! I mean Oh hell I mean heaven I mean wait ...but here we go. 

Enjoy the random ramblings dear ones and to my multipontentialites we are here we are real and we have got things to do on this fine earth!

Peace and Love
