Okay. Be free of academic/intellectual intimidation. This is under your control. You are not alone. We are creating a healthy conducive learning environment, ... including well-being and well-roundedness. I chose to do this some years ago. It is a case example where it is easily said; "I could have done this a long time ago. Boldness has genius. If not now, when? Yesterday is unfortunately not in the matrix of solutions. The moment is now!" Hopefully you have worked out the resistance, the hindering resistance and have surfaced w/ a clear, lucid mindset, goals of achieving topics, areas, and fields, a ring of people-contacts, personal association w/ your past situations, positive and the negative banking on the idea that lessons are the opportunities from the past "erroroneous zones." to borrow from Dyer.
I chose areas to develop my brain/mind/heart in music, art, writing, mathematics, and basic recovery, especially rediscovery. It is quite like cross-training in health/exercise achievements. The supportive system is stronger than the sum of the individual components. Action has genius. What are the components? The following; Writing a book, taking courses, exercising aerobically (swim, cycle, run, cross-country ski, et c. (yoga, tai chi?)), getting a band together, composing, working at a bookstore (Heartland Books, Kent, Ohio), teaching college, ... . I gave it more a conscious effort to explore languages; homologies, etymolgies, cognates, psychology of language in general. These formed a tapestry. I believe that writing my first book, Ephemeral Mind of a Climber was a project that was a piece of the puzzle that led me to qualifying and joining International/American Mensa. If not that, probably else-wise something related.
Find through some brainstorming app. five areas you would honestly like to do, today, five years from now. Yes. Five years from now still be at it. Maybe something close or derivative, generally the same. If you are free from thinking you are free of having five years ... use "As if ... ." For me I started w/ a past hobby building/designing airplanes, models. The skills plus from other backgrounds led me to in 2009 to take up guitar-making. The skill w/ the blade, construction was free from being an uncomfortable step. "Technically" I had in app. 1993 an experience rebuilding a bolt-on neck for a steel string guitar, drilled out the stripped screw holes, dowels glued in, drilled for wood screws making a solid union,body and neck. That was an earlier step. The experience was put basically on hold for over a decade. This time I was ready to have it taken on w/ more fervor. Profile sketched out, ... . I got my first guitar in the white by say 2012 (app.), a custom classical, a jumbo, 25 frets, tailpiece construction. The bulbs are planted. Cycles spin onward. Spirals gain altitude, new heights.
Work on your life. Work on your writing (heard before, read?), physical health, music, art, filmmaking, computer skills, capabiliites and, dare say, thinking skills, study skills, learning skills, and yes ... creativity! No talent? NO! You are developing your talent. If someone says you are a "no talent?" They are wrong, usually a dry drunk thought, or someone active in some type of addiction. That perspective is a toxic one. Develop your "immune system-psychologically." Categorize it for what it is; toxic, poisonous, and warped sense of reality, a lie.
So put your past behind you, bury the "dead part of you." Mourn the loss. Go through ther process. Come out all that much strong. Stevie Nicks derivative? Lovers only love you ... . Maybe we only have one life? This is it. You see changes that need to be made in this world. That is why you are here. Make changes, develop the tools that will do that. And remember the people aspect. Find your tribe!
