i'm better at absorbing words that i see than words that i hear.

as a kid, my parents said i wouldn't listen, but i would read a lot. this has carried through to adulthood. i'll forget what you said, but not quite so easily what you wrote.

when i try to listen to YouTube videos while i'm doing something else, i'll miss half the video. i need written words or visuals to help absorb what's being presented to me.
