Hi Kiya, I too have suffered abuse and I think it has affected my ability to "see things through." I also feel like I have no talent--I am an artist, but not really a very good one...what makes me stick with it is the satisfaction in the process of doing the art, not necessarily the finished product. I have done a jillion things in life, but have often failed to see them through to completion...I always start things giving 100 percent and I think its "really it" but in the end, I find out its not the magic answer I was looking for. Now, I am in a job that I like but, of course, I would like to have a better job--a different job.

Its good that you were able to organize your thoughts and write all this out...I am sure it is a step in the right direction.
