Watching series as a talent

Being the "normal" kid, I never stood out in anything. In school I would pass every class but just with average grades. I spend around 12 years practicing ballet and I know I wasn't bad.. but I also knew that I wasn't good enough to make more out of it, other then on an amateur level. I was good at all sort of things but never really "great".

And somehow I missed this way obvious thing about myself. Something I do almost every day and it has become a habit. The one thing I am really good at is watching series!! As I write this I am watching an episode of Pretty little liars (just started season on 4, no spoilers please..)

So my talent is to watch one whole season of any serie in just one week....next to all the stuff that everyone has to deal with; school, work, cleaning, cooking, friends, family etc. etc.

If you are wondering,, Current series that I watch are Pretty Little Lairs and The Walking Dead.
I just finished House of cards (season 3) and I am waiting for new episodes of Devious maids, Once upon a time and ofcourse Game of thrones.

Some may say watching series isn't a talent, I see it is a reflection of some of my qualities.

1. Commitment

You have no idea how many series I have watched. And seriously it takes some commitment to get trough so many seasons. 

2. Open mindedness

I watch Hong Kong Drama series to The walking dead and It's always sunny in Philadelphia and I like every single genre as much as the other. 

3. Setting priorities

To watch that many series still keep up with the social life stuff and everything else screams for multitasking and priority settings. 

I also like to think that you can learn one or two things by watching series, like:

Knowledge of human nature

Just by watching and analyzing all those different characters makes you understand the people around you. Because even though they are just characters, directors based them on real people's behaviour. 

Survival 

And ofcourse survival, everyone knows you don't go to the basement if you hear weird sounds in your house. And that you can only kill a zombie by headshots. 

So if I somehow do end up in a simular situation, I know I am already a dead man. 

Because no way that I am as brave as a leading character in any written script. 

It has taken me twice as long to write this blogpost just because my tablet screen is not big enough to do both writing and watching.
