What Is "your Talent", I'm becoming worried.. Options

[Wurlon]

Throughout life I have heard the many speeches of "follow your dreams, do what you love, use a talent you have" and others ect. that I assume are used to guide you to a successful, happy life or career. Well that is hopefully, but my main question is how? I cannot find something that I love to do that could become a job, or a talent I have that is useful.. I mean I have (or I am supposed to have) a high intellect, so I could probably work my way into a moderate college. But I do not know what, I know I am quite young but just curious.

If not, feel free to post how you found your talent/talents or how you found a job you would love. Being a parent will be considered a job in here

That's the point. You're what, 13? I'm 16, i still don't know what I want to do. it takes time, it takes experience. You have swim around, figure out what you really love to do and stick to it. The really difficult part is making it applicable in our society.

I have a talent for writing... poetry, reports, letters, stories, everything. I'm considering journalism but it's sport of complicated, it's not any job I can get a pen and paper in. I also want to travel a lot, and live and get to know different cultures from all over the world. One option is in writing novels I could get a grant from my publisher to travel for inspiration. I'm considering that, but I don't want to give up activism and journalism is more practical in consideration of activism. That is my dilema.
