Can you visualize things in your head?

A photographic memory is not a gifted skill it is a trained one.
It's definitely both.
I personally knew someone in high school that had a photographic memory that didn't even know that was a thing until she became aware not everyone can remember everything they saw. So she could look at, not read, a textbook page, and know all the answers to a quiz on that page because she could go back to the memory of the text book page and re-read the answer to the question.
That kind of innate ability gap is prevalent everywhere, quite a bit in art because it's so apparent. Some people can learn to be incredible painters that have very little natural aptitude (Marco Bucci does a really interesting talk about his natural inability). Or we could learn to be amazing piano players with years of work while some children naturally are able to pick it up and write their own music within months.

Children are the beauty of the world. They process a genuineness that so many adults get striped of over the coarse of time.
Could a person not have been draw to a practice simply because they love to do it regardless of knowing what it is exactly. For your friend who has but didn’t know doesn’t mean they were just gifted with this skill. It could also be a possibility that they were drawn to a practice that builds it up naturally without even intentionally knowing it was a practice.
I believe that it is that intuition and natural unconscious practice of said thing.
For example I do not listen music and sounds like my cousin does. She has a keen awareness to music notes before she knew what they are. Didn’t mean it was something untaught just means it was a natural attraction to an aspect of life. Constantly practicing before she knew what practicing was.
I still do not believe that people are allotted a gift. Or you are just “born with it.” I have four boys and at every birth I learned that they were totally dependent on me with no abilities, but with endless amount of potential. Watching them grow I recognized glimpses of what guided them to be who they are. Still there is much unknown. I do believe people can have a better understanding of different aspects of life even at a younger age. I just believe that people work at these things during their life especially in their childhood.
The brain is the instrument of knowledge, the mind is the use of knowledge and the conscience is the manipulation of the brain to produce mind.
No worries at all. Thanks for the reply and food for thought.
I’ll give another example. Kim jung gi explained that he was drawing 3D shapes in kindergarten when the other students were learning what shapes are. Many would say that he was gifted with the ability to see in perspective. However, he would tell you it came with practice. Not just our typical idea of practice but also the tasks here and there that enhances our abilities that we do not even know is practice.
Anyway much love and have a blessed day!

@Miriam I don’t like poetry either and I think your reason really fits with why. lol
When I read I have a clear picture of characters in my head and I get really annoyed if there is a movie made after the book and the characters don’t look anything like what I pictured. Lol.
For the same reason I don’t like to see a movie before I’ve read the book because I want my own interpretation of the characters and not the movie star in my head... unless it’s someone hot and then it’s okay.
