Five things I just can’t seem to do

It’s no secret that I love a good heartthrob in a chick-flick or romance movie; can eat multiple packets of Oreos in one sitting and I am (slightly) to organized for my own good but there are something’s that I just can’t seem to do. Recently, I helped a couple of friends out with a situation, which I later helped to resolve and as one of the great problem-solvers in this world (okay, I wouldn’t say great but I do my best to help people out from time to time), I was asked afterwards whether there was anything I couldn’t do. DUH! There is so much I can’t do! So, I thought it was only fit to share the top five things that I just can’t seem to do; I mean I definitely have more than five but I don’t fancy boring you with all of them… not today at least!

I CAN’T… let go.

I am my own worse enemy 99.9% of the time. I’m always in my own head, aware of every single thing that is happening around me; sometimes, it is the “What ifs?” and “the confidence in myself” that stop me from doing things. I am envious of people who can go out and stop at nothing and live while there young (Yes! One Direction fan in the house!). I mean I am not a big, dull dud and spend every night on my own but sometimes, I just can’t seem to let loose and live but I have gotten better with time. 

I CAN’T… read a map.

In school, I was one of these kids that could never read a map and I always seemed to get lost wherever I went (people still have to keep an eye on me, and I am 21!). Back me up though, in the 21^st century I don’t need to learn how to read a map because with all the latest technologies and our good, old friend Google maps, who need a paper map, right? Wrong, when you're in an area with no signal, a paper map really comes in handy; maybe it's time I start learning how to read one. 

I CAN’T… do a front-drop on a trampoline.

WIMP is the first word that comes to mind with this thing I just can’t seem to do. I just can’t seem to do it and I don’t think I will ever be able to either, even as a kid I didn’t like doing a front-drop.

I CAN’T… dance.

Sounds crazy but when I am in a club, I feel right at home with my dancing because A) it is dark and no one can see me, do my little bop dance and B) some people’s dancing is worse than mine, so I don’t feel so self-conscious. However, if you put me on the dance floor on my own, oh my goodness, the embarrassment starts and someone just needs to stop me.

I CAN’T… listen to my own advice.

Something that truly bugs me is that I am pretty good at giving advice (so I’ve been told anyway) but good advice is only good when you actually listen to it; that is something that always happens to me, when I advise something to someone, I never listen to it myself and sometimes that is a big mistake…
