I just assumed everyone else could build houses and shite in their minds. I used to do long division in my head by visualizing a chalk board and manually calculating it.

WOW.

I’m pretty creative but I’m known for whipping out old school paper and pencil to sketch out every idea I have so I can nail down details. The paper must come first before I move forward to do anything on a computer and everyone finds it hilarious bc it’s so old school. That’s just me trying to visually “see” so,etching to work through details that I can’t do in my own head.
