What do you think you are the top 1% in? (Prompt courtesy: https://thecoffeemonsterzco.com/en-ca/blogs/midnight-blogging/journaling-prompts)
Top 1%? That’s pretty difficult to imagine. Would this be something I’m really really good at or something I’m really really bad at?
I find it difficult to objectively look at myself and find something that good. And what if it doesn’t exist? I’ve always considered myself average.
But I suppose if I had to, if I had to point out things or areas that are different from a lot of other people my age, in my demographic, I would name a couple. They aren’t necessarily good things.
One is that I don’t get grossed out easily, hence the reason I became a nurse. As compared to my sisters I could handle anything yucky. Dead animal carcasses. Vomit. Sick people. Plucking and gutting chickens.
The other is the way I can manage and shut off feelings when I want to. Not that I do this very much anymore. I don’t think it’s healthy. But I can do it if I want or need to.
