I started off only having art & crafts as my hobby. Looking at people around me pursuing pottery, crochet, and such, I felt terrible and inferior that I only had a fair bit of talent in art. I tried cooking, baking, and different other hobbies and it did not go well, instead it left me feeling horrible about myself. I told myself to stop being whiny and start doing something about it.
Let me show you some of my art pieces..:
Now, Let me tell you all about a part of what happened briefly. The first time I baked a cake it was uncooked in the middle, but I did not want to give up as I felt really passionate about it. I went to baking class and made sure I learnt it and could do it myself from there as I did not feel good letting that part of my passion go just like that and thinking "oh I can't bake, I can't bake cake and I'll never be able to do it. It's just not my talent"... all the talking down on myself. I also couldn't cook a proper meal back then, or use the stove or knife much as I was afraid of them. All I could cook is egg. Funny looking back and thinking of how I got here.

I explored different recipes, watched videos and cooked/baked at home a lot, I started to see improvements in my skills. I generally self-learn and do not like to attend hobby classes unless I really feel the need to as I'm thrifty and prefer to put my earnings to good cause like charity. One of the first successful baking was Hershey's peanut butter kisses, I even had the chance to share with my friends and they loved it. From there, my cooking/baking improved a lot as I felt more motivated, I was accepting of my failures and criticism, and I'm glad to now be able to share the joy of my hobby with my closed ones.
I just want to tell everyone from this story that if you feel like you're unhappy with yourself about something, stop being whiny like I was and start doing something about it. Do not give up on what you're passionate about even if it seems like it's impossible. Do not limit yourselves and look down on yourselves like I did. In life, only you can help yourself truly. People can advise and guide you, but only you can pick yourself up and move forward.
