associated Maths deafness

I can draw, paint, embroider, scrap, photograph, sculpt, etch, carve, write and bake. Go me :)

I can see images before they happen, I can visualise ahead of the design, I can turn nothing into something - art or foodwise. I view my entire world in textures and photobackdrops ;) I can work photoshop, my imac, my iphone and my camera. Wonderfully.

What I cant do is I cant do maths very well, at all. And my head seriously aches when trying to do it. I cant hear it like other people,  it sort of floats in my head rather than sinks in. I truly don't get it, and I can feel this shutter closing down inside my head, when ever I attempt serious  any maths. I'm a grown up {apparently ;)} I don't have maths homework, so I have no reason to 'fake' this mental block.
I didn't come from mathematically challenged people either. I don't know if its how I was taught, how my brain is generally formed or something else.  
Its not just maths.  Its official rules, an awful lot of web design stuff and technical measurements. And parking cars ;)  I'm a cliche....

I confess this, not for your pity, but to give you a clue as to where my head is at whilst I am in the middle of website stuff. I go round in circles and have to step away, in case I hurl computer thro window...hahaha. I find it frustrating. I am not a stupid person, I can do so much. So I keep trying and keep screwing it up. 

Last week I decided I am taking an easier option, business website-wise, than I originally intended. And I am giving myself a break. So I cant do it all, so what? who can exactly?
When I earn enough to pay the genius, mathematically speaking, web people; I'll get exactly what I want, until then, what I AM doing will be just fine. 

Here's to creating images, writing stories, and baking cake, and making people happy. Long may I continue ;)

It takes ALL kinds to make the world go 'round. There are lots of things I can't do . . . and many I wouldn't. I admire the math people, the computer geeks, the roadside Emergency crew, teachers, etc etc. A dull world if we all were the same!

Long live the creative brains!
