As my journal has had the title it has, I figure this is an appropriate header for an entry into it! I'm a 30 year old straight man, growing up sewing was something women were taught to do. Men didn't need to know how to fix things, only how to do work! Not like the preservation of your belongings is a type of work, no! That's simply what women do. Just like bathing, go ahead and just reek for all anyone cares, you're a man, you don't need to know how to use soap!
Anyway, I'm obviously real bitter about my lack of skill in this field. Technically I've done several projects, including the 'fingertips' of a pair of finger-less gloves (my Spellcasters as I call them) where the fraying had required a reinforcement I've yet to have collapse on me. So even though I've got a history of success with the skill, I'm still stuck on working on it any further. All my sewing projects are just waiting for me to get over this emotional hurdle, and sure there's only a messenger bag I need to restore along with a dime sized hole in the right Spellcaster's palm, but such projects are only waiting on me. I have the time and even usually the energy for it, just not the spiritual peace of mind to actually work on it.
I have a similar problem with progressing my IT studies, but that's a journal entry of its own, for anyone curious though I'm working on CompTIA's Network+ N10-008. Hopefully I can get the certificate for such by the end of next month!
