I can very easily pick up patterns in things, to the point where it takes over and I just have to let it out
I can make words even though I don't know what they mean
I taught myself to write my own name (I was 3) I can remember the day
It was the day they killed memetaphorically speaking
So if you think I'm smart you're right
And if you think I'm stupid you're also right
I'm stupid smart
Yeah I'm like that too.
Except I had to be cajoled to write in year 1 at school. I couldn't grasp it and panicked. I was in the slow readers group in year 2. I think my short attention span made it difficult for me to learn.
But once I grasped the concept of words and writing around year 4 I found I quite liked creative writing. I just didn't like writing if it wasn't creative, it was too much for my brain.
