So I was always the girl sitting on the back of the class with her head in the clouds. I was always very different from my class-mates in the way I learn and pick up things.
I am multilingual, I speak Spanish, Italian, English, I can read and understand most Portuguese and French and I know basic bits of Finnish, Swedish, some Asian languages I am also an artist specialized in different medias. But I never studied. Like EVER. I just pick up things. My brain can't focus on things very much, or for very long. If people make longs speeches at me I would just nod and stare at their face analyzing all their features and shapes until they look like they're melting. So I always tried different ''passive'' or ''lazy'' methods for learning things. My grades were very good on creative subjects, average on ''studying''subjects and extremely low in maths and more technical stuff that requires an actual attention span. So since a child I would ask the teacher to let me doodle while she read or talked because somehow information managed to make its way to my brain without problems since I was doing something of my interest that didn't require effort and my ears were sitting there without much to do, so they just picked words and stories up. I really cannot study the traditional way, I would just start doing something else and forget about it or stare at the pages for HOURS while thinking about How did Dutch peasants turn the carrots orange and wondering whether Santa wears mismatched socks. I also have a hard time keeping track of time, my body or belongings, I lose EVERYTHING that is important, from passport to wallets, glasses, phones, I just don't realize what I have on me. I also have weird energies that make my body shake legs or bite on stuff or just jump around like a weirdo without noticing. I had thought of things but I got tired of writing ![]() ![]() |

Okay seriously, I am struggling a lot with work. I'm Freelance, so my schedules and deadlines are totally elastic, and I can't seem to be able to manage it.
Even to settle my mind to work takes hours and something always happens, I get distracted, it takes me a week to complete 2 drafts. And the drafts themselves only take 20 minutes of work each. I COULD HAVE DONE THIS JOB IN A MONTH IF I COULD FOCUS AND ITS TAKING ME MORE THAN 3 TO ONLY FINISH THE DRAFTS! I'm so desperate and frustrated right now... ![]() |
