#PetPeeve : People who say "I wish I had talent for #drawing !"I mean, I too wish I was better at drawing. But ultimately, I made the active _choice_ to prioritize other things with the limited time I have.Because in the vast majority of cases, getting good at a craft depends far more on the effort you put into practicing, rather than some inborn trait. Ignoring that is dismissive of the many great artists who worked hard to get where they are.(This doesn't mean that people can't have different circumstances, of course - someone who has to constantly hustle in order to get by will have far less time to practice a craft than someone who was born to a life of leisure. So I am not condemning people who don't have the time to practice. But it's the time investment what matters the most, not some genetic traits.)
