I’m blind my right eye and right handed, so I can’t shoot a rifle no matter how hard I try. I could *probably* shoot a handgun but never interested to try.
I’m great with darts and throwing knives though.

I can also get a basketball in from 3/4 court with one hand, 7 out of 10 times.
Not with both hands though.

Born with limitations but I never let them show, I don’t talk about them and I maximize my abilities.
I type at 110 words per minute and play the piano *almost* as fast as the world’s fastest piano player (I can do 13.5 notes per second regularly), yet I can’t solder two stupid wires together, use a caulking gun properly or draw.
So, no big deal. Work with what you have and don’t cry about what you don’t.

Maybe. Never tried. I was supposed to go Julliard at 11 and had training to, but told mom I didn’t want to and she was ok with that.
The idea of practicing the SAME shit over and over and over and over again scared the hell out of me. Hated the idea. Glad I didn’t do it.
I could probably improvise Liszt enough to impress regular people with though.

I went to a private school at age 13. I promised EVERYBODY at my public school that I’d only be a year and then I would be back.
But I never came back to public school.
I stopped hanging out with them even though we were in the same town, until after I graduated.
What was weird to me is that I changed but they were all the same.
=====
I’ve been gone for 14 years from there but they were when I left. I see their Facebooks and they seem to be the same.

They were ‘fair weather friends’ in school – the kind of friends that were your friends when they needed you, but would turn their backs on you when they didn’t.
I’d turn from the hero to outcast back to hero again.
Not my kind of people but common where I grew up.
====
I don’t hate them. They’re just happy their little circles going around and around and around doing the same things always.
Maybe I’m no different but I like my circles better.
=====
That’s the beauty of it: They’re going to do whatever they do regardless of how I feel. So – I don’t wish them ill, hope good things for them but don’t really care that deeply either.
