Hey now, none of that.
I've never knitted or tried to knit, but practice, practice, practice. And if knitting isn't going well, try crocheting or something similar. Find different way to learn to knit, like little trade secrets or something.
You can too draw. A great and vast majority of artists never like their own work, despite how many people around them will tell them they like and and mean it. And artist is also never "done" developing their style either. Someone can work for Disney or earn millions on their art and they'll still keep developing and developing their style. You can't become worse at drawing, you can only go forward and up, getting better and better. And really, I love your artwork. I'm not saying it just to make you feel better or anything. I really do love it. You have ideas that are just so awesome.

So this is for all of those artists who don't get the respect they deserve because people assume they were just given the ability by someone else. And it is for all of the artists who look at people who draw better than they do, and say "oh, I wish I could draw that well." You can, and you can draw better than that, you just have to have the drive and the passion."
Of course you can make a living off of it! Just think of all the graphics you see on business and stuff - they come from a program and someone with lots of creativity, just like you. Here:

Of course you can write. Don't try and tell me you can't because you CAN. Writing is an art form using words, and trust me, you've got all the creativity needed for art.
And being able to bake and cook isn't something to take for granted! Anyone can follow step by step instructions, but it'll never taste the same as someone who loves doing what they do, who has that ZING! for cooking. Fat will come but the best part about it is that is can go away.
You're a wonderful and unique person Sara. You know what you're really good at? Many things. And being yourself. I couldn't imagine you being anyone other than who you are, and who you are is amazing and beautiful. You are a rarity in this world. *hugs* I'm sorry you're in a rut right now. =( Those are never fun. But you definitely can climb back up because you're someone who naturally shines. You can't be stuck in the muck for long because it's just not allowed by nature. <3 Just remember, there are people who love you for being you, even if you feel you have issues with yourself. Don't forget that you are loved, okay?
