I can literally count to three, that’s it.
I’m very much a verbal thinker. I love learning languages. Drop me off somewhere and I’ll speak that language within three months, complete with proper local accent. No problem. Except for, of course, the numbers!🤣

The relationship between numbers and my brain is one of mutual dislike.
My brain doesn’t do them. I swear I don’t even know what numbers are. As a kid, I learned mental arithmetics like a poem. I recited it in every test, for every exercise. What I wrote was mostly correct, but time was always up before I had finished even half of it…

maths was my poorest subject until we were allowed to use electronic calculators. Late 70s. And then suddenly, it became fun! I loved algebra so much. Being able to do maths with my good old friends: letters!
At that point, I chose maths as a favourite subject even. I loved how unambiguous and logical and elegant it was. Just don’t expect me to do numbers.
