I have been trying to draw simple things for most of my life and can't grasp it at all. Practice does not always make perfect. But I don't care so much about that as I do writing and poetry. I can't do either! Someone once told me not to fret about poetry as no one liked it anyway, but I certainly do and read it often.

On the other hand, I am great with 3D art, can create excellent vintage collages and am a very good cook.

I’d love to be able to write music. And I always wanted to play the piano I was taught to play the violin but It was the piano I really wanted.
I also can’t swim. Lots of people have tried to teach me but I just can’t do it, not even a little bit.
I can knit & sew really well though & can crochet, I was taught by an expert, my grandmother.
