You are very right !

Yes, I do care about art (a lot actually), but don't have the time or patience to practice / learn. And when I do draw (semi-frequently), I space out easily and think too much.

Thank you for saying art isn't superior. I really want to be good at it (or anything that's considered expressive - like writing or playing an instrument), but just can't really improve past a certain point. And things considered analytical and objective (like science) aren't really given any consideration as something impressive in an expressive way (or if you're good at it, people don't give the same type of compliments like "wow, you must have worked really hard on this" or "I like the way you approached [blank]" instead it's assumed you just automatically know and didn't work hard at all).

Suppose it is not much that you are "not meant to" draw, but more that it has not been a big part of your activities and you are distant kinda from art stuff. Not to sound cliché, but you may find your way in art if you want to, like, turn to art more in your personal spare time or if you plan/gravitate toward drawing and want to do it more regularly.

If art isn't a huge part of your life, that's okay and it doesn't mean you're "weird" or talentless, especially if you have other interests or things you feel more comfortable with. You are probably right when you say you're not great artist (I don't know that, i just believe your words) but it doesn't mean you don't have talent in other spheres , and art isnt superior to writing or science or anything.. I think your energy and experience was directed into growing your other skills that, for example, i wouldn't be able to rival.

I know you're not self deprecating, and im no psychologist, but maybe the fact that you talk about this could mean that you care about art to some degree..? Either way, it's okay to start improving drawing at any time in life , if you want to , even if you're better at other things there re no limitations to what you can enjoy doing (just saying,)
